Lets Take Steps Together to End Homelessness.

I’m taking action to help end homelessness — and on Friday 28 August, I’ll be sleeping in my car overnight as part of Mission Australia’s Sleep In Your Car challenge.

It won’t be comfortable, and that’s the point.

For one night, I’ll give up my bed and the security of having a safe, comfortable place to sleep to get a small glimpse of what it can feel like when a safe place to call home isn’t guaranteed.

With the rising cost of living, a shortage of affordable housing, and the devastating impact of domestic and family violence, more Australians are finding themselves without a safe and stable home. Homelessness can happen for so many reasons — and it can happen to people who never imagined it would happen to them.

I’m hoping to raise $1,000 to support Mission Australia’s work helping people experiencing homelessness access safety, support and a pathway towards a secure home.

If you’re able to donate, even a small amount can make a difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing this fundraiser would mean just as much.

One uncomfortable night for me. A safer future for someone else.

Thank you for supporting me and helping raise awareness for homelessness in Australia. ❤️
