“Going from sofa to sofa, county to county, from tent to tent. It’s not a pretty sight, not for a 53-year-old woman.

Then Peter McVerry Trust came along and made my dreams come through. And I’m still pinching myself. I have a beautiful home, a beautiful garden.

Now that I have my home, I can relax, I can be happy in myself, I can have my life again. I can’t wait to see my kids grow up, my grandkids grow up and hopefully my great grandkids.”

After 11 years in homelessness, we recently supported Kathleen to move into a home of her own in Cork.
