Imagine going from family home… to care home… to no home…. <\/strong>The care leavers we meet here in Depaul are homeless because they have nowhere to live, no one to turn to – no support network.<\/p>\n

Once a care leaver become homeless, time is critical.<\/strong> Because we know from our decades of experience, that the longer a young person is homeless, the more likely it is that they will stay <\/em><\/strong>homeless.<\/p>\n

Will you give \u20ac25 to protect a young person who has no place in this world to call home… from a lifetime on the streets?<\/strong><\/p>\n

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

Ryan’s Story<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

When Ryan was 13, his Mum died. <\/strong>With no one to take him in, he ended up in care. And as soon as he turned 18, Ryan became homeless.<\/p>\n

You\u2019d instantly warm to Ryan. He\u2019s a real chatterbox, and when he talks about how he\u2019s trying to pull himself out of homelessness, he speaks with passion.<\/p>\n

But when the subject turns to his childhood, you can see the pain in his deep brown eyes.<\/p>\n

Ryan\u2019s a middle child. He has a little brother and older sister. When their Mum died, they lost one another as well:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\u00a0\u201cIt still hurts. I\u2019ll never understand why they<\/em><\/p>\n

split us up – me, my little brother, and my<\/em><\/p>\n

sister. We all had to deal with losing our Mum<\/em><\/p>\n

and then losing each other all by ourselves… It tore my family apart.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Will you help before its too late?<\/h5>\n

[Yes! I’ll help a young person escape the cycle of homelessness >]<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In giving today your kindness will go so much further than a night or two in a hostel. You\u2019ll be helping to end the cycle of poverty and despair and hopelessness that so many care-leavers find themselves stuck in… You\u2019ll be helping a young person escape homelessness forever…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

A safe place to stay <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Out of harm\u2019s way and off the street, your kindness will give a young homeless person a safe and stable place to stay until they find their way home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A specialist keyworker <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Your kindness provides an experienced advocate to guide Ryan through complex processes like housing applications. Someone to keep them motivated and to say \u2013 \u201cCome on… I know you can do this.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

A way out of homelessness <\/strong><\/p>\n

Budgeting, paying bills, preparing for job interviews… you can give care leavers the life skills they\u2019ve missed out on.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please act now. <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s critical to help young people out of homelessness within the first few months.<\/p>\n

Because once you\u2019re stuck in that cycle, it can be near impossible to pull yourself out.<\/p>\n

Please, will you protect a young homeless person who has no one at all in this world?<\/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
