One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference
Shoes, fashion and beautiful things are part of my world — but so is community, connection and caring for people.
This year I’m taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout because while many of us head home each night to warmth and security, far too many Australians do not.
For one very cold Canberra winter night, I’ll sleep outside alongside other business and community leaders — not to pretend I understand homelessness from one night alone, but to help shine a light on an issue that affects far too many Australians every single day. But if it helps start conversations, raise awareness and contribute to real support for people doing it tough, then it matters.
I would truly appreciate your support. Every donation, no matter the size, helps St Vincent de Paul Society provide practical support, emergency accommodation, meals and hope to people who need it most.
If you’re able to donate, thank you. And if you can’t, sharing this page and helping spread awareness means just as much.
Thank you for being part of it.
