Home Sweet Home Ireland
Donation protected
Home Sweet Home is a campaign to end homelessness in Ireland.
There are 260 people sleeping on the streets of Dublin every single night with more than 6,500 'officially homeless' people, including 2,400 children growing up in hotel rooms. 70 families a month are still losing their homes.
The life expectancy for a homeless woman in Ireland is 38, roughly the same age as during the famine period of 1847.
This is obscene in a country with so much wealth. The homeless crisis could be over very soon if the government made it their priority, but this is simply not happening. Instead, our government prioritise tax cuts for corporations and high income individuals.
The homeless need our help and we are sick and tired of waiting while families go homeless and people die in the streets, so now we are taking action.
We are asking you to support us in housing homeless people until the government gets its act together and realises that the most vulnerable in our society are the priority.
Please help us with funding so we can house homeless people directly. We need your support. All money received will go into a campaign that will get people off the streets, into adequate shelter and end homelessness in Ireland.
It's time to make the change we want to see.
(This gofundme is run by Oisín Fagan, a member of the Irish Housing Network finance team. All your generous donations will be drawn down by the Irish Housing Network, who are one of the groups helping to run the Home Sweet Home campaign. All donations will go directly towards the costs of running the current action, and any excess will go directly into a campaign that ends homelessness in Ireland.)
