Help Dublin Simon Open Doors this Christmas

As the dark and wintry evenings settle in, people like Shane find themselves isolated, vulnerable and alone. No one should spend Christmas struggling to find a place to sleep in damp doorways, and yet this is the harsh reality for over 10,000 people in Dublin right now.

Shane’s story could be anyone’s. Like many of us, Shane grew up cherishing Christmas. He remembers walking down O’Connell Street as a child holding his parents’ hands, captivated by the magic of the lights at Clery’s. His childhood was filled with love, laughter, and the familiar comforts of home – a memory you may even share with him from your childhood.

… when I was a young lad, Da surprised me and my sister with an advent calendar, and to us, it was magic. I’ll never forget the look on my sister’s face when she saw it. Ma would tell us to be patient and only eat one chocolate a day, and that each door marked one day closer to Santy visiting. It was so simple, but it brought us a lot of joy

Give a Christmas Gift

This Christmas, we’re asking for your help to open more than just doors. We’re asking you to open your heart. Because for every door that remains shut to someone in need, there’s another ready to be opened.

The doorways of Dublin are no place for anyone to seek shelter, especially in the cold of winter.

Please give what you can today. Every gift you give opens a door to hope for someone facing homelessness this Christmas. Your donation can mean the difference between another cold night on the streets and a warm, safe place to sleep.

 

“When you are homeless, there is no warm welcome. Doors are a constant reminder of feeling shut out. They represent another night with no place to call home.”

Shane, Dublin Simon Client
