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, or even the cost of one cup of coffee, can make a huge difference to people who need it most.
Really appreciate your support!Â

I did this Sleepout 5 times and got sick afterwards 5 times! I think now they do them under cover so you don't get sleeted on in minus 5 degrees. One time I slept in as I'd taken a pill, and woke up alone. A person walked by and gave me $2 thinking I was homeless - haha! Appreciate the experience Tayanah and take 1000mg Vitamin C beforehand :)
