I won’t ever forget that firstnight..” Weeks turned into months, Jessie started drinkingto numb the pain, soon becoming dependant onalcohol just to be able to get through the days. “I really had given up on myself, I couldn’t see away out. Then I met Jackie, an outreach workerfor Providence Row. She invited me to theDellow Centre for a shower and a warm meal,and it just went upwards from there. “If it wasn’t for Jackie, I would still be sleepingrough, still be begging to survive.This Christmas, I am looking forward to waking upin the warm with food in my belly, but moreimportantly I can’t wait to spend this Christmas noton my own.”Maria O’DonoghueMichael BlakesleyDaisy BellHead ofPartnershipsCorporate PartnershipsManagerSenior CorporateFundraising OfficerMOMBDB
