SIMON STORIES

“I shouldn’t have had to rely on services like Galway Simon, but if I didn’t have Galway Simon, I don’t know where I’d be right now”.

“I knew it would be back to square one again if we didn’t get that place”

“I became homeless because I was tired of being beaten.”

“I’m so grateful to Galway Simon Community. They believed in me, even when I didn’t believe in myself. They saved my life.”

“A lovely fella called Noel, who’s been working with me since the 80s, handed me a key and said ‘This is the key to your apartment. It’s your home now, as long as you want it.’ That was a big step for me and I can hardly begin to describe how good it felt.”

“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.”
