Vinnies CEO Sleep Out
Every night, thousands of Australians experience homelessness. Especially women over 50. This is an appalling fact for a country like Australia.
With no investment in social housing in decades, many women over 50 find themselves unable to pay the extreme rents now the norm in places like Noosa
I have my own experience. Too ill to work in 2012, I was unable to pay rent and was without a place to call home for 12 months. House sitting saved my life.
This is in no way a story unique to me. Many women find themselves in the same position.
As a real estate agent today, I see first hand the challenges faced by older Australians particularly, to afford a home especially those without financial resources this is the challenge of our time
But it doesn’t have to be that way. This year I’m taking part in the Vinnies CEO Sleepout to raise money for the St Vincent de Paul Society to support Australians in need.
For one night, I’ll be sleeping outside as part of an eye-opening experience to raise awareness and bring home the realities of homelessness.
To help break the devastating cycle of homelessness, I need your support.
Will you help me to reach my target? Donating $100 or $50 or even $10 can make a huge difference to the people who need it most.
Please. You never think it can happen to you. Oh but it can. Every dollar helps. Please donate here:
