I'm taking action to help end homelessness.

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

As someone who has personally experienced homelessness (due to my own personal reasons at the time) I know how difficult it is and what its like to be cold, hungry, in need of warmth and the shame you feel having to rely on shelters, food banks and the supports of local crisis centres so what better reason now to help others experiencing the same difficulties I once found myself having to go through!

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.
