HUSH for Homelessness 2009
15 May 2009
Almost 105,000 Australians have no place to call home. Of these people, around 50% are yet to have their 25th birthday and 10,000 are children aged under 12! This is why Mission Australia is running HUSH for Homelessness an event to raise money to assist homeless men, women and children across the country.
HUSH for Homelessness symbolises the invisible and voiceless lives that homeless Australians lead. Mission Australia challenges you to experience what its like to be voiceless, by not speaking for an hour (or more!) on Friday 15th May 2009 and to seek sponsorship for your silence.
All donations will go directly to Mission Australia homeless services, providing crisis and transitional accommodation and support services to homeless people across the country.
