Story
Eoin
When I first came here I didn’t have a job. I was coming out the other side of a drug problem. I didn’t really feel like anyone was here for me, and I felt lonely.
But over the last few weeks everything’s changed. I’ve been feeling welcome here. I’ve patched things up with my family. I’ve got a job.
I’m thankful for the Simon Community staff, they’re always there for ya.
