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 again 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

22
Individual support programs

58
Beds

233
Meals
Funds raised over the years

A great initiative. I once worked for a CEO who used to regularly do this. Someone offered him a huge amount if he agreed to wear a dinosaur suit to work and eat a meat pie in the staff room with us all watching. He was a health freak but took it for the cause.
