Dear All,

On Friday, October 12^th, I will be leaving the comfort of my own home for one night to sleep out on the grounds of the Law Society of Ireland and “Shine a Light” on homelessness in Ireland.

Along with others, I will be sleeping on cardboard in the October weather with a plastic bag, blanket and a cup of soup.

It is shocking to realise that today there are now over 10,000 people homeless in Ireland and that 1 in 3 is a child!

For the 6^th consecutive year, I’ve signed up for ‘Shine a Light Night’ 2018 so that I can play my part in helping Focus Ireland provide vital prevention services which help change people’s lives across the country.

I am now asking for your help. You can help prevent homelessness in Ireland today by sponsoring me to take part in the sleep-out.

I have committed again this year to raise €5,000 by mid-October, please demonstrate your solidarity by sponsoring me today.

To sponsor me, please log onto https://shinealightbl.everydayhero.com/ie/charlie-sheil or send a cheque to me made payable to ‘Focus Ireland.’

Please give as generously as you can and help to change the homeless landscape across Ireland.

Your support is greatly appreciated.

Charlie
