"Love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night."
Irish journalist based in Stockholm, covering the world.

Here's an interview with Thomas (not to be confused with Tuomas, who I mentioned on the podcast - the two have very similar stories about having to leave home with their possessions in bin bags and how Housing First saved them): www.patreon.com/posts/how-ho...
