As part of their 24 days of Christmas Advent calendar, RTÉ has released a heartbreaking video, highlighting the reality of being homeless at Christmas. 

 

The 60-second short, which was released today, features mum-of-two Tracy who has been homeless in Dublin for a year.

 

In the clip, Tracy reveals that she didn't get to see her kids for Christmas last year, because she was taking drugs.

 

 

Determined to stay sober so that this year will be different, the mum-of-two admitted that she doesn't have anywhere to bring her boys for them to spend the holiday together anyway.

 

Tracy's Christmas wish is to see her sons on Christmas Eve and to be with them at "the Santy time", a wish she doesn't believe will come true. 

 

This video is heartbreaking and emotional, but a must-watch.
