Participating in their 1st Vinnies CEO Sleepout
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 for the first time 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 awful realities of homelessness. I can't just stand on the sidelines any more and watch homelessness happen.
I hope you feel the same way. To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support please. Will you help me to reach my target? Donating $100, $500, or whatever you can afford, will make a huge difference to people who need it most across the greatest country on earth, where I know you will agree this really shouldn't be happening. Thank you for your help.
So far this year I helped provide
