Matthew’s journey is a testament to resilience. His words don’t just tell a story they reach into your own struggles and remind you that healing and love are possible.
Matthew Greg, born in County Clare, Ireland, as the 6th of 10 children, endured severe childhood challenges including illness, injury, abuse, and the loss of his best friend. Struggling with his mother’s alcoholism and two failed relationships, his self-worth hit rock bottom. Yet, through resilience and hope, he found love that reignited his spirit.
After his confirmation, Matthew spends the day with his best friend Peter, playing games and enjoying the sunshine before heading home early to finish homework. At home, he deals with his mother’s drinking and tension with his siblings, relying on his father’s quiet support. The next morning, he prepares for school on his own and rushes off with Peter, cherishing their time together.
