A safe space, a fresh start and your love at the heart of it.
At Merchant’s Quay Ireland, we see the impact of your generosity every single day. It’s in the warm meals you provide, the safe shelter you make possible, and the second chances you believe in.
In this edition of our Spring Quay Times, you’ll meet John, who arrived at St. Francis Farm, weighed down by shame, unable to make eye contact. Just 14 weeks later, he’s writing poetry, planning for college, and building a brighter future for his son. His story is one of healing, but it’s also a reflection of your compassion in action.
“You’ve given me the support to face my past, deal with my addiction, and become the dad I desperately want to be.” – John, MQI Client
Because of you, men and women in recovery are reminded they are not alone, and that they are worthy of dignity and hope.
Inside this issue:
💜 John’s transformation: from survival to self-belief
🤝 Sit-down with St. Francis Farm Project Worker Aislinn
🕊️ Book of Love — a celebration of the kindness and how legacy gifts create lasting change.
By donating today, you are directly supporting life-changing services that offer a second chance to those who need it most.
Thank you for making space for healing and for believing in new beginnings.
