One night isn't a lot, but it - and YOU - 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 my 4th 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 please help me to reach my target? Donating anything is brilliant - whatever you can share - but please know if you can afford $100 it will make a huge difference to people who need it most!
In the past many of you have gladly donated as you can see that the money raised goes directly to those in need - and perhaps you are happy to donate rather than take part in the event - and that is more than fine too... Whatever it takes for Vinnies to raise the money they need.
So far this year I helped provide
