One night isn’t much but together, we can turn one cold night into lasting change.
Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. It’s confronting. And it doesn’t have to be that way.
This year marks my 7th year participating in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. Once again, I’ll spend a winter night sleeping outdoors to raise funds for the St Vincent de Paul Society and to help shine a light on the harsh reality many Australians face every single day.
One night for me is uncomfortable.
For more than 122,000 Australians, it’s every night.
To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I’m aiming to raise $250,000 this year — and I need your support.
A
That means:
-
Every $1 you donate becomes $4.
-
Every $100 becomes $400.
-
Every $500 becomes $2,000.
Until we surpass last year’s total of $210,000.
Your generosity doesn’t just provide food, shelter or support services.
It restores dignity, hope and stability to people who need it most.
Thank you for standing with me.
Your support truly changes lives.
If you’d like, I can now give you:
-
A shorter social media version
-
A slightly more direct “hard ask” version
-
Or a more emotional storytelling version referencing your food truck experience
Just tell me which tone you want to lean into.
So far this year I helped provide
63
Individual support programs
167
Beds
668
Meals
This is my second matching donation. My campaign kicks off tomorrow I have set our starting target for donations ay $20K and I expect to have several more of these matching donations to be needed as we strive to beat last years total of $209K.
