Mission On A mission

It's all about helping out people, children, families that are homeless living in shelters or on the streets. 

We are so fortunate to be able to have a job, roof over our heads, food on the table and for our children and babies to be able to have clean clothes, warm bath, a warm bed and feel safe. Lots of families don't have this and struggle on a daily basis.

We are doing the sleep out to help raise money and awareness of people that are homeless. 

We are stepping out of our comfort zone and warm beds and will be sleeping under the stars on the 26th of July all night just on a thin roll out mattress and sleep bag.

We are very proud to be taking part in this and any amount of donation is appropriated greatly.

On any given night more than 116,000 Australians - including over 44,000 children and young people - don't have a safe place to call home. This statistic has risen almost 14% in the past 5 years, and in a wealthy nation like ours this is unacceptable.

And so this year I'm raising money for the homeless by doing my own Sleepout to support Mission Australia and I'd love your help. $22 can buy a set of sheets so a child can be tucked snugly into bed and $299 can fit out a whole bedroom with basics to feel safe and secure.  Your donation will help support those at risk or experiencing homelessness. Thank you in advance for your support!
