What is lockdown like without a home? That's the question a new book Homeless Stories asks children aged five to 13 living in emergency accommodation or direct provision during the Covid-19 crisis.
The book was produced by Irish publishing company Emu Ink, and all proceeds from the sale of the book will go to Depaul’s Families and Young People’s Support Services.
Depaul provides vital accommodation and community supports for vulnerable families who are experiencing or are at risk of homelessness.
One such recipient of that support is ten-year-old Kasey, who illustrated the book’s front and back cover, and wrote about her experience of living with her mother Jodie and little sister, Belle, in emergency accommodation during the Covid-19
