Give a Christmas Gift
With you by his side, this will be Mick’s last Christmas without a place to call home.
Please give what you can today. Every gift provides critical support and hope to people experiencing or at risk of homelessness this Christmas.

Beneath Dublin’s festive lights, too many of our neighbours are living in darkness.
This Christmas, people like Mick are sleeping on the cold streets, but your kindness can be the guiding star that leads them to warmth, safety, and recovery.

This Christmas, no more cold streets. Give hope. Give warmth. Give now.

Mick’s Story

Mick is 67. Sadly, more and more people like Mick who need our help every day. People in their 60s, 70s, and 80s who’ve spent their entire lives working, who never imagined they’d end up homeless.

Can you imagine, what it’s like to lose everything in your later years – just aching joints, bitter cold, and a damp sleeping bag?

This Christmas night, without help, Mick will once again bed down in a shopfront on Henry Street. A sleeping bag and cardboard will be all that separates him from the freezing stone beneath — unless we step in.

But thanks to you, there is hope. Your compassion and generosity mean that from 6 am every morning, Dublin Simon’s Outreach team are on the streets offering help and support to people sleeping rough like Mick.  

You can support someone like Mike to start their journey out of homelessness. 💛

“I’m always on edge, always afraid of being robbed or attacked.
I used to have a tent, but I don’t anymore.
I was too afraid of it being set on fire with me inside.

Mick, Dublin Simon Client

Can you imagine waking up on cold, damp cardboard on Christmas morning, afraid and alone? That’s the reality for people like Mick, but it doesn’t have to be. With a heartfelt Christmas gift, you can provide Mick and people like him with the vital support they need to take the first steps into recovery and away from homelessness.
