I'm taking action to help end homelessness.

Homelessness is something I’ve spent time learning about through my health studies, and it’s an issue that honestly breaks my heart. The increased cost of living, the impact of domestic violence, and the lack of affordable housing are just some of the major factors fueling Australia’s homelessness crisis.

This October, I’ve committed to giving up the comfort of my bed and sleeping in my parents’ car overnight as part of Sleep In Your Car. It’s only one night of discomfort for me, but for thousands of Australians, it’s a reality they face every single day.

I’m taking part not just to raise funds, but also to raise awareness — because education is key. The more people understand the causes and realities of homelessness, the more compassion, action, and change we can create.

By supporting my efforts, you’ll be contributing directly to Mission Australia and their life-changing services that help families and individuals find safe housing, stability, and hope for the future.

I’d be so grateful for your support — whether that’s through a donation, spreading the word, or simply taking time to learn more about the issue. Together, we can ensure that all Australians have a safe place to call home.
