One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference
I've never spoken about this publicly but there was a time in my childhood where myself and my family were homeless for a period of time. We slept in a shipping container behind a factory for many months while living in the United States.
My mum didn't mean for this to happen, it was just a few things didn't go our way. As a parent now, I can't imagine the pressure and stress she would have felt during that time and I am grateful it was only for about 6 months.
But every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. But it doesn't have to be that way.Â
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.Â
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.Â
Will you help me to reach my target?Â
Donating $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.
