For those experiencing homelessness, Christmas Day can be an overwhelming 24 hours of loneliness and heartache. Compassionate people like you can help Depaul change this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your donation can make an immediate and meaningful difference, providing warmth, comfort, and a delicious Christmas meal to someone in need.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Will you donate now and make this possible?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Picture yourself enjoying Christmas dinner with loved ones – sharing laughter, warmth, and plenty to eat. Now imagine the contrast for those who have no one to turn to, and nowhere to find comfort. Your donation today can change that<\/strong>. Just \u20ac3.54\/\u00a33.54 is all it takes for Depaul to provide a hearty Christmas meal for someone who is hungry and alone. <\/span><\/p>\n

Please give what you can and make a difference.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sean was only 19 when he found himself homeless. Small and vulnerable, he looked younger than his age. Family complexities had left him with no place to go, and it broke his heart. But thanks to donations like yours, Sean was able to join us for a Christmas dinner. Tears filled his eyes as he saw the spread before him. \u201cI can\u2019t believe it. Is this all for us?\u201d he asked, overwhelmed with gratitude.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your kindness can bring that same comfort and joy to others like Sean. <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Every donation – big or small – helps us serve not just a meal, but hope and dignity. A gift of \u20ac3.54\/\u00a33.54 can provide turkey, ham, roasties, carrots, stuffing, and all the festive trimmings, with second helpings and leftovers to make the day even more special.<\/span><\/p>\n

Donate now and thank you for making a difference.<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Your support is more than a dinner – it\u2019s the warmth of knowing someone cares, the safety of a welcoming space, and the gift of a memorable Christmas Day. <\/span><\/p>\n

Your generosity can transform this Christmas for someone in need. Will you help us spread hope and kindness?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
