UPDATE – €5,000 GOAL SMASHED IN UNDER 12 HOURS!

Thank you. Seriously. We hit the full €5k target faster than I expected. Every single euro is now going straight to Sophie and her three kids.

Sophie has been added as the beneficiary — the money will transfer directly to her bank account in the next few days.

Raising this emergency fund for Sophie Ross and her three Irish children.

Sophie has been on the social housing list for 14 years. Park Developments offered her a house in Leopardstown as "security". Weeks after she moved in under HAP, they served her with a Notice to Quit to sell the property. After overholding on advice from TDs and her GP, bailiffs removed the family.

They are now in IPAS emergency accommodation in Rathmines — one room, no cooking, broken shower, curfew, kids missing school. It's degrading and destroying their mental health.
