“I became homeless because I was tired of being beaten.“
I’ve had some rough times, made some mistakes and spent many years sleeping rough on the streets of Galway City. But the thing that’s made all the difference to me, through it all, is that Galway Simon has always been there. They didn’t give up on me, even when almost everyone else did. They cared for me when I was at my lowest. They’re the reason I’m still here.
“The support Galway Simon gave was practical and immediate. Anna stood beside us every step of the way and helped us to keep our home.“
“In my twenties…there was no Simon there at the time, no help at all. I was hungry every day with no sleep, no blanket”
WE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO DO IT WITHOUT OUR AMAZING VOLUNTEERS
Our work would not be possible without the support of our amazing, hard-working volunteers who are present in every part of our organisation. Each volunteer contributes in their own way and makes a difference to the people we support.
