Antoinette Foley, a 32-year-old recovering from heroin and crack cocaine addiction, emphasizes the importance of not judging those living on the streets. In 2021, she was homeless in Co Kildare when shop owner James Mahon offered her help. Their friendship blossomed through a photography project, leading to her recovery and housing. Foley shares her story for her children and to educate others about drug dangers. She highlights the need for compassion and understanding towards those in similar situations, urging people not to make assumptions based on appearances.
"I was like death alive basically, a lost soul. People just looked at a girl sitting with a cup, they just looked at a tent. They didn't know what was going on, they didn't know the story."
"Don't judge a book by its cover, and don't look down on anyone unless you're giving them your hand to help them up."
