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.
So far this year I helped provide

My heart pulls everytime i see a fellow human sleeping where others walk, where others stand and talk, where rubbish is thrown and not a second thought is given or cast of an eye exchanged. I hope however small my donation, collectively the impact is huge. Proud of you my friend. Wāhine Toa.

I'm an ex long-time employee of ERL. I think what you are doing is very commendable Karina. I have supported the Big Issue and the work they do for many years. Why no-one has solved the problem of homelessness is unbelievable.
