One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference

I am taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout in Melbourne this year 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 experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness. 

But I will need your support to reach my $5,000 fundraising target. 

It is only one night, but any donation big or small to help me reach my goal will make a difference and go directly to help people who need it most.

So far this year I helped provide
