T
he Organisation of National Ex-service Personnel
or ONE have launched an awareness campaign to
highlight the need for funding and donations required
to run their homeless hostels to help Veterans of the Defence
Forces who have fallen on hard times. ONE has three homes
around the country, in Dublin, Letterkenny and Athlone, and
hopefully with another one opening up in Cobh in the coming
months. These homes have provided a safe, supportive place
for over 900 veterans to date, with many of those suffering
from depression, disabilities and PTSD. These are individuals
who served the Tricolour with pride in conflict zones around
the world, as the United Nation's most distinguished
peacekeepers. At home they served during The Troubles, or in
ensuring the safety and stability of the State, yet received little
recognition or support when their service came to an end.
"95% of the veterans helped by ONE escape the cycle of
homelessness and move on to permanent housing, while
others need to remain in our hostels indefinitely." As an
independent charity ONE relies heavily on donations. With
your help they can keep their doors open and our country's
homeless veterans off the streets, now and in the future.
