I'm helping women and girls in need

I'm hosting a fundraiser to help women and girls in need across Australia. All funds raised from our event will help provide free period products to those in need and give them the dignity they deserve when dealing with their periods. 

Any support you can give towards our fundraiser will go along way, making a huge, life-changing difference to the lives of many. 

About Share the Dignity

Share the Dignity works to make a real, on the ground difference in the lives of those experiencing homelessness, fleeing domestic violence, or doing it tough. They distribute period products to those in need and work to end period poverty here in Australia. When someone is doing it tough, the last thing on their mind should be dealing with their period.

Our mission

Thursday 1st Feb

As late February approaches, Sarah and I are preparing ourselves for a challenge that extends far beyond our own limits. We're committing to walk a total of 100 kilometres, not just to test our endurance, but to make a real difference in the lives of homeless women in our community.

Partnering with Share The Dignity, a charity dedicated to providing support and essentials to women experiencing homelessness, we're using our walk as a platform to raise funds and awareness for this critical cause.

The statistics are sobering: in 2021, females accounted for a staggering 81.7% of the 6,067 increase in people experiencing homelessness. Behind these numbers are countless stories of struggle, resilience, and hope. And amidst the challenges faced by those without stable housing, women often bear a disproportionate burden.

Access to basic necessities becomes a daily battle for homeless women, and it's one that shouldn't exist in our society. By walking 100 kilometres, Sarah and I are striving to shed light on this issue and to offer tangible support to those who need it most.

We invite you to join us in this endeavour, whether by sharing our fundraising efforts with your network or making a donation to support Share The Dignity's vital work. Together, we can provide essential resources, comfort, and hope to women on the streets.

Every step we take is a step towards change. With your support, we can create a future where no woman has to face homelessness alone, where dignity and compassion prevail, and where hope shines bright even in the darkest of times.

Thank you for standing with us and for showing kindness to those who need it most.
