We Have The Power To End Youth Homelessness

Over the past year, I’ve faced my own challenges with mental health, and I know how much of a difference having support around me made. Without my family and friends, things could have looked very different.

But many people don’t have that safety net.

That’s why I’m supporting this fundraiser—to help provide not just housing, but support, dignity, and a sense of belonging for those doing it tough. If you’re able to contribute, you’re helping someone feel seen, supported, and not alone.

Every night, over 122,000 Australians experience homelessness. That’s more than the maximum capacity of the great MCG. And alarmingly, a quarter of all these people are between the ages of 12 and 24. 

In Victoria, more than 7,600 young people experience homelessness every night.

Young people need more than a safe place to live, they need stability and support to develop life skills, heal from trauma, and to transition to independence. Your support is needed now more than ever.

Homelessness is not a choice. Homelessness doesn't discriminate.

I'm seeking your support by asking you to donate so that I can reach my fundraising target. Every dollar counts!

Together, we have the power to end youth homelessness.
