Luke’s Story:
A Life Transformed

Meet Luke.

For months, Luke and his elderly father, Colin, had no place to call home. They lived in unsafe boarding houses and, eventually, even in a tent. Despite Luke’s best efforts to keep them safe, things seemed hopeless.

“I was so worried about him. I didn’t care about me. I just wanted to get him sorted,” Luke says.

This is where you come in.

By signing up and fundraising, you’re not just spending one night on a cold, hard floor—you’re helping people like Luke and Colin find the support they need to escape homelessness.

Your participation funds Vinnies’ homelessness services, providing emergency accommodation, meals, and long-term support programs to people who are in desperate need of a fresh start.

Every person who experiences homelessness has a story. Your efforts help rewrite these stories, giving people a chance to build a future they deserve.

Thanks to you.

Thanks to Vinnies and the funds raised by people like you, Luke and Colin found a path to safety. With the assistance through a Vinnies Men’s Crisis Centre and emergency support services, they’re now on the road to recovery and a stable home.

Why Participate?

“Participating in the CEO Sleepout was such a rewarding experience. Spending a night trying to sleep on the cold, hard ground was tough but nothing compared to what thousands of Australians deal with every night.”

— Belinda Fry, Metcash
(Merchandise & Marketing Manager)
