Participating in their 7th Vinnies CEO Sleepout
One night isn't a lot, but it can make a whole lot of difference

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 can make a huge difference to people who need it most.
So far this year I helped provide
