Connecting with kindness, no strings attached.

We did it, but there's much to be done!

Sleeping in your car is NOT comfortable as 32 people found on Friday, 6 April, as we willingly slept in our cars to raise funds for Macquarie Care, but the people who really know that are the ones that slept in their cars the night before that and the night after that and in fact have limited options beyond sleeping in their car for the foreseeable future.

OUR GOAL IS TO RAISE $50000

So we're not there yet and we would still love your support. Please click on the 'donate' button or below to sponsor an individual who slept in their car to help those who have to sleep in their car.
