Your tax deductible donation of $68 will purchase a Backpack Bed for one of Australia's 16,375 street sleeping homeless.  The most needy of needy.

National Human RIghts Award Winner.

Thanks to public donations - in the last 12 months - we made 3000+ Backpack Beds for distribution to homeless around Australia.  Thank you.

The recent Queensland floods will result in an influx of homeless.  Flooding is difficult to cover on insurance.  Most people live on 2 weeks of savings - so imagine your employers business was washed away and there was no way to work or repair your home. Help us be ready for the new homeless created by these massive disasters.

Charities are screaming for our help.  Up to 80-90% of homeless are turned away from some shelters every night.  Imagine if you were turned away.
