If she is involved in multiple charitable causes, it is because Nolwenn Leroy had a complicated childhood after her parents’ divorce. The singer of “Broken“, now a star of French song, has made the most deprived her priority. This February 1, 2024, she was on RTL to launch an appeal against poor housing.
“To govern is to house your people”
She, who met Abbé Pierre 20 years ago, for all these family reasons, reports: “He was well aware that unfortunately it would last… And that, 20 years later, we are still here today. I think that the fight against poor housing must be a great national cause. We need action, there are more than just words but action. To govern is to house your people, that’s what the abbot said. Today, we are facing an unprecedented crisis. To say today that 70 years after Abbot Pierre’s call in the winter of 54, we are here today”.
And this is not the only association that Marin’s mother supports. This year, and for the 17th time, she sang with Les Enfoirés, in Bordeaux, for the benefit of Restos du coeur. Regarding this collective created by Coluche in 1985, here too, Nolwenn Leroy does not give up.
“We can’t get used to this misery”
The former academic star deplores the problems at the Restos du coeur too. There too, she said, it is necessary “emergency level”“the restaurants are in the red too, and need money because more and more people are coming to the restaurants”, she adds. “This situation is still… we can’t get used to this misery.” she explained live during the station’s morning show.
