One night isn't a lot, but it can make a big difference

You all know that I care deeply about housing and believe that everyone can and should have a healthy place to call home. I can't comprehend that in Australia, every night, thousands of people experience homelessness. 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 $10, $20, $50, $100 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.

So far this year I helped provide

All the best for the sleep out. You do great things for comfortable housing, and the money raised will hopefully result in more comfort for those in need. Thanks Jenny.
