Lee-Maria's sister Catherine Kenny tragically died on the streets of Belfast in March 2016. 

​

Only days before her death Lee-Maria had begged for Catherine to be accepted in to a rehabilitation centre. Just when Lee-Maria thought Catherine had reached a turning point and was willing to get help she passed away at the age of 32.

​

Catherine was the fifth person to die on the streets in a matter of weeks.

​

Lee-Maria now wants to raise awareness about homelessness and she is backing an appeal by Belfast Live and The Welcome Organisation to fund a mobile health unit for Belfast. To read more about the appeal or get involved read here:
