Sleeping Out for Change: Why One Night Can Make a World of Difference
Homelessness is everywhere, yet most people just walk by and ignore it. I remember a profound moment in Bangkok that deeply affected me. There, I saw a homeless person in terrible condition, right next to a place of luxury. The stark contrast between someone suffering and another living in comfort, just steps apart, struck me hard. It was as if something inside me shifted, and I realised how unfair it was that so many people were struggling while others lived in ease.
That experience left a mark on me, and ever since, I’ve felt a strong need to give back to the community. I believe we all have a responsibility to help those less fortunate and to work toward a world where everyone has a safe place to call home.
This year, I'm taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St. Vincent and 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 harsh realities of homelessness.
To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support. Will you help me reach my target? Donating $50 can make a huge difference to people who need it most. Together, we can make a meaningful impact and create a more just and compassionate world.
