A single night might not seem like much, but even the smallest ripple of awareness can help turn the tide for someone.

Every night, an overwhelming number of Australians face homelessness—tragically, in the thousands. Some have come from stable, everyday backgrounds like you and me. But whether due to mental health struggles, addiction, a failed business, a broken relationship or more, they’ve found themselves on the streets, trapped in a cycle that's hard to escape.

It doesn’t have to be this way. This year, I’m taking the blinkers off and facing this issue head-on. I’m taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise funds for the St Vincent de Paul Society, helping provide essential support to those who need it most.

For one night, I’ll be sleeping outside—not to pretend I know what homelessness feels like, but to bring awareness to the harsh reality so many face daily. But real change takes more than just one night—I need your support.

I’m calling on my friends, family, colleagues, and beyond: please don’t look the other way, assuming someone else will step up. I know some of you may be facing struggles of your own, but if you can back me this time—whether with a little or a lot—it would mean the world.  The funds will go directly into helping the right people.

Together, we can turn small ripples into a wave of change.

Please help me reach my goal. A donation of $100 can make a real difference for those who need it most.
