One of my goals after leaving foster care was to one day have my own full size Christmas tree. But every year they were too expensive. This year, for the first time, I’ve been able to afford a 7.5ft Christmas tree. It may seem silly to some, but it means the world to me ❤️🎄

Spoke @tusla launch for #socialwork awareness week today before heading into @SWSP_TCD's advisory committee meeting. I couldn't attend the #childsummit with @dcediy but amazing to see so much work being done to promote positive outcomes for children and young people in one day!
