One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference, help me to raise funds.
Every night, over 122,000 Australians experience homelessness. That’s not just a statistic—it’s a crisis. And it’s one we can do something about.
This year, I’ve committed to sleeping rough for one night as part of the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. It’s a small act—but it represents something much bigger: a stand against homelessness, and a step toward real change.
On June 19 , I’ll be swapping my bed for a piece of cardboard and a sleeping bag, joining leaders across the country to raise crucial funds for the St Vincent de Paul Society, helping provide food, shelter, and long-term support to people who need it most.
This is where I need your help.
If you can, please donate—even $100 can provide emergency accommodation, meals, or support services that change lives.
Let’s do something powerful together. Let’s help end homelessness.
Thank you for your support—it means more than you know.
