Eoin’s Story
…while I’m grateful for so much, sometimes, what stands out the most are the little things. Being able to tuck my children into bed at night. Learning how to do my daughters’ hair.” – Eoin
Our stories come from real people who have been faced with the trauma of homelessness. At Galway Simon, the client is always at the heart of what we do. Every client and situation is different, but one thing always remains the same – we always believe in people and accept them as they are.
For those that Galway Simon Community supports, our aim is to help people to leave homelessness behind them for good. Read their inspirational stories below.
