One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference
My 9 and 10 year old have recently been asking a lot of questions about the homeless they see around the Gold Coast, particularly as it comes into winter. It was the most recent question, as we left the Womens State of Origin at CBUS Stadium and saw a gentleman sleeping on a metal bench, that triggered me to play a small part in making a difference.
Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way. This year I'm taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians in need. For one night, I'll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness.
To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support. Will you help me to reach my target? Donating $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.

Great initiative Brad. Since moving here, it’s been pretty evident how many people are experiencing homelessness across the Gold Coast. Good on you for turning a conversation with your kids into action. Hopefully this helps in some small way and good luck with the sleepout!
