Imagine if your home \u2014 the one place you should feel safest \u2014 is where the danger lives. What then? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Every year, women across the island of Ireland are forced to make themselves and their children homeless in order to escape abuse.<\/p>\n

With a gift of \u20ac25, you could help provide a night of shelter and safety for a family fleeing a violent home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Yes! I\u2019ll send help > ]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fiona’s Story<\/h5>\n

Barely more than a child herself, Fiona arrived in Depaul during the first lockdown.<\/p>\n

Hunched over and rail-thin, she looked like she\u2019d perfected the art of making herself small and unthreatening.<\/p>\n

In one arm she was carrying her tired little girl.<\/p>\n

In the other, she was clutching all their earthly possessions in a single bag.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0And Fiona is afraid…<\/p>\n

… afraid of what lies ahead. <\/em><\/p>\n

… afraid her little girl might be taken away. <\/em><\/p>\n

… and most of all, afraid he\u2019ll find them.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Imagine you had to make the impossible choice between living in a state of constant fear… and homelessness.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Will you be a lifeline to someone like Fiona? Someone who is at this very moment trying to find the courage to leave her abuser?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Yes! I’ll be a protector for families fleeing violent homes > ]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your Life-saving Gift provides…<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

Shelter & Safety <\/strong><\/p>\n

Women and their little ones are placed in a safe little apartment of their own. A place they can finally feel safe after years, sometimes decades, of abuse. In Depaul they can start to rebuild their shattered lives.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Depaul Advocate <\/strong><\/p>\n

Every woman is assigned an individual key worker who will act as a guide and advocate in everything from seeking counselling to school placement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Classes & Life Skills <\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most common ways abusers control their partners is by isolating them from family and finances. Here, victims of abuse can take courses to help them regain financial independence.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Home Without the Hurt <\/strong><\/p>\n

Navigating the complex housing application system can be daunting. But here, survivors of abuse are supported and coached every step of the way until a safe home is theirs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tomorrow, or the next day, maybe even a week from now, another mother will arrive on Depaul\u2019s doorstep, eyes wide with fear.<\/p>\n

Please… will you give today and provide for a night or two of shelter and safety for a family fleeing domestic violence?<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Yes! I will help today > ]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you for being the kind and caring person you are, and for keeping a place for the homeless in your warm heart.<\/em><\/p>\n
