'Devastated': Homeless woman loses everything in storage unit fire
"I put everything in storage, hoping I wasn’t going to be homeless that long."
'This was someone’s home. Not just a tent. Not just some “camp.” A home. A place where they felt safe—where they could sleep without fear for a few hours, where they kept the few belongings they had left in this world.
Now? It’s a pile of rubble.'

“I'm sorry for your situation and everybody else's at the moment. I wish I could personally fix this sad, old world, just as you do. The impact you have had on me, from the first meeting after you spoke at the rally, is profound...and now our ever growing grassroots movement is yours too.”

“Irene has been nothing short of amazing in helping spread the word and support her fellow community members that are struggling. She is constantly finding ways to support them and give them opportunities to share their story (and hers), and the Moreton Bay district are lucky to have such an angel in the community.”

"Irene, you don't know the impact you have on people. From listening to you today, I can say without doubt you have had an impact on all sorts of people, from all walks of life, and you don't even know it. I love that. In what you're sharing here, I think this talks to human kindness."
