Ms Kelly Anne Byrne:

We initially met a Focus Ireland support worker. We then needed correct care. We had to go into the women's refuge for a while. When we started to gain stability and had the right support, we transitioned from the women's refuge and support to Focus Ireland support workers. My good support worker is with me for life. I always have somebody to turn to and to work with me on whatever I need, whether it is related to my children, life, house or anything else. I have ongoing support, which is something that I never really had. Due to being fostered as a baby, I never really had any family support. It is great to have the right supports around us. Focus Ireland kindly gave us our forever home. We have been living there for more than five and a half years and we cherish it because we know what it is like to go without a home. Having that stability is a foundational start to life that I feel everybody deserves to have.
