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.

Happy to support you as you takes part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. You lead with compassion, authenticity and lived experience, and I can see how this cause is deeply personal to you. You are amazing how you continue to use your voice and leadership to advocate for people doing it tough and to remind us that safe housing should never be taken for granted. Wishing you all the best as you sleep rough to help raise awareness and vital funds for homelessness support services. ❤️
