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.”
