Julie's story - a family transformed
Meet Julie.
After her marriage ended, Julie was left to care for three young children on her own – with no income and nowhere to live. She and her kids spent two freezing winter months in a leaky tent at a caravan park.
“It didn’t matter how many layers of clothes you had on, how many blankets... it was bitterly cold, no matter what you did, you just could not get warm”.
This is where you come in.
By signing up and sleeping out, you’ll be leading the way for people like Julie and her children who don’t have a safe place to call home.
Your fundraising can provide accommodation, meals, emergency assistance and long-term support that empowers people to break the cycle of homelessness and rebuild their lives.
You can bring hope.
Thanks to Vinnies – and funds raised by people like you – Julie and her kids received the emergency support they needed, and were offered a safe place to live. After all they’d been through, Julie says the impact was life-changing.
“It was so overwhelming… I cried because it meant there was hope for my children.”
Why Participate?
”This is my third year in a row sleeping out — my motivation comes from delivering food parcels to people experiencing homelessness with my family when I was young, and seeing firsthand how even the smallest gestures can make a huge difference.”
— David Greenwood, Business Owner
