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
