Roderic O'Gorman, don't evict me and my family
My name is Ferry Ediagbonya. After seven years living in a direct provision centre in Co Meath, myself, my wife and our five children have recently received notice that we are going to be moved to another direct provision centre in Co Mayo.
The distress this is causing to my wife and children is unbearable. I work in Dublin, and I will lose my job if we are relocated. Our five children will have to leave their schools and all of their friends behind.
I am pleading with Roderic O'Gorman, the Integration Minister, to do whatever he can to reverse this decision. My family's future and welfare is on the line. For the sake of our children, please don't make us leave our home and the community we know and love so well.
Why is this important?
No matter who we are or where we come from, all any of us want is to protect and take care of our families. Being evicted from the only shelter we have is cruel and heartless.
