'I've had three birthdays and two Christmases living in the hotel'

Kasey Earley, 10, can look forward to Christmas in her new home. 

She's had three birthdays and two Christmases living in a hotel – but now Kasey Earley can look forward to a festive season in her new home. 

The 10-year-old is one of a number of contributors to a new book, written and illustrated by young people who have experienced time in emergency accommodation and direct provision. The proceeds from  Homeless Stories, launched by Irish publishing company Emu Ink, will go to Depaul’s Families and Young People’s support services.
