I'm fundraising so that no-one has to go without shelter or a meal
The no-strings-attached support my family received thirty years ago is my motivation for participating in this year's Vinnies CEO Sleepout.
Those of you who know me well also know of my father's serious mental illness, something that he has struggled with his whole adult life.
As children and teenagers, my brother and I would visit Dad at Kings Cross. With a Disability Support Pension as his only income, we had many lunches and dinners provided by charities like Vinnies' Matthew Talbot Hostel.
The Talbot, the Wayside Chapel and Rough Edges were unusual places to grow up, but they were my father's kitchen, lounge room and social network. Each time we visited, we got a meal, but also saw the value of providing support without prejudice or judgement.
So far this year I helped provide

Daniel As you prepare for the Vinnies CEO Sleepout, I want to commend you for your commitment to this important cause. Your role as an executive with the Pharmacy Guild showcases your leadership in improving healthcare access, and participating in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout beautifully aligns with that mission. Your decision to spend the night outdoors demonstrates not just empathy but a deep understanding of the struggles faced by those experiencing homelessness. It's a powerful gesture that speaks volumes about your dedication to creating positive change in our community. This experience reflects your passion for social impact and highlights the importance of advocating for vulnerable populations. Every moment you spend outside contributes to raising awareness and funds, ultimately helping to support those in need. Wishing you strength and warmth during the sleepout! By doing this, you're making a meaningful difference, and your leadership inspires others to join in efforts for a fairer society. Best of luck 😇
