Hi Folks, Ray here. I'm very reticent and slow to put this out, but I feel backed into a corner. I'm caught in this housing crisis, I've been out of work since my brother John passed away, I have no home, apparently I'm high up on the priority list for social housing but there is no guarantee. The last few years have been too much for me, with multiple family losses, now I've no home, and out of work. I've always loved France, and I have a very good CV. I would love to learn French and get a job in France, and a home, maybe even, who knows, a partner! I love the sport of cycling, and the French do that in spades! I'm concerned if I try to hang in here in Ireland until the council offer a home, that it might be too late, I would describe myself currently as potentially and sadly, despite all my heroics, of falling through the cracks.

I'm very sorry to be sending this message, and putting anyone in a spot, but if I can return the favour down the road, please let me know.

My apologies. And Thank You.

Love always,

Ray ❤️ x
