Mother whose son died in violent circumstances to raise awareness for homeless charity in his memory

A mother, whose 11-year old son died in violent circumstances after they had just emerged from a period of homelessness, has dedicated herself to helping others who are struggling with the loss of a child or living without a home of their own.

In her first interview since the horrific death of her son Brooklyn Colbert, last November in Limerick, Sonia Aylmer said she would like to be involved in setting up a group to help people cope with the death of a child.
