My target 3 Steps

I'm taking action to help end homelessness.

I’ve committed to sleeping in my car overnight this October – it’s a bad night’s sleep for a good cause.

The increased cost of living, impact of domestic violence, and lack of affordable housing are all factors contributing to a homelessness crisis in Australia. I’ve joined Sleep In Your Car to raise awareness and vital funds to help families find a safe home. By giving up one night of comfort, I am raising awareness and vital funds to help end homelessness.

I’d love your support today by contributing to the life-changing services provided by Mission Australia.

Together, we can ensure that all Australians have a safe place to call home.

Well I did it, had the most uncomfortable sleep for a great cause

Sunday 12th Oct
Trying to find ways to be able to remain in your car with the keys inside and trying to lock it is hard. All this anti lock your keys technology means you often can’t secure your car while inside with the keys. 

For me this meant sleeping in the car with it unlocked, not an easy thing to do for anyone to go to sleep knowing anyone could try open the door door at anytime. Thankfully for me I did this in a controlled environment where there was little chance anyone would want to attempt to open the door while I slept, but opened my eyes to just another factor some of the tough sleepers with the luxury of sleeping in a car may face.
