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

I love seeing your leadership spark meaningful change. This event with Vinnies/SVDP CEO Sleepout is exactly the kind of kindness-in-motion our community needs. Raising awareness and funds—it’s empathy turned into action. Huge respect for stepping up.
