One night is temporary. The difference it makes isn’t.
Every night, far too many Australians are forced to sleep without a safe place to call home. It’s something I find deeply confronting — and something I believe we can change.
This year, I’m taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to help raise vital funds for the St Vincent de Paul Society and the incredible work they do supporting people in need. For one night, I’ll be sleeping outside to better understand the realities of homelessness and to help bring this often‑hidden issue into the spotlight.
I can’t do this alone. Your support can help break the cycle of homelessness and change lives. A donation of $100 can make a real and tangible difference for someone doing it tough. If you’re able to help me reach my goal, I’d be truly grateful.

I feel fortunate to be able to support this fundraiser. There is enough of everything in this world to get rid of homelessness, housing insecurity and poverty if we all just made it a priority. This situation exists in so many places ... when there is a person in the USA about to become a trillionaire!
