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 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.

I sincerely hope funds raised support our Aboriginal women and families to have safe, secure places to sleep. Every day I see women and families asleep under the eves of the clinic and wish more could be done to provide safer accommodation. We do what we can by providing food and access to our facilities during the day, yet at night they are open to the elements, shelter under the lights and get rest where they can.
