I'm taking action to help end homelessness.

Hi there,

I am a single mum with lived experience in homelessness and DV. During this time I was fortunate enough to work with Mission Australia. I am doing this challenge on the 2nd anniversary of me signing my safe space lease. I was lucky enough to be supported by 2 amazing caseworkers who addressed my immediate needs and supported me in to long term housing which allowed me to continue to rebuild the life I had taken from me. Through my work, i am now able to give back to others in need. This is my opportunity to raise awareness and understanding that homeless can affect people from all walks of life. Please help me to raise much needed funds which will go directly towards ensuring others in need can access these supports. By making a donation you are showing your support for individuals and families to be warm and safe.

 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.
