Participating in their 9th Vinnies CEO Sleepout
One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of 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 Gold Coasters 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.
The money raised from the events last 8 years has bought a block of land in Nerang for the soon to be constructed 60 units. This will make an enormous difference to 60 families. You can help be part of the next project by donating $100, follow the links, please!
So far this year I helped provide
