I’m a Big Heart Club Member
I have pledged to choose love over hate to show people experiencing homelessness that they are not alone.
The Long Walk Home Poem
Another day, another scroll, another call to action,
How hard they try in all these posts, to gain a bit of traction!
A 28k walk, from Parramatta to the Cross?
“Why not?” I thought, it’s something I can do without much loss.
But homeless people have no choice except to walk this distance
Each week in search of services providing mere subsistence.
So friends who’ve read this far, I hope you’ll heed my humble plea,
To help the Wayside Chapel, click the link and sponsor me 🥰
Support my 28km Long Walk Home to Help People in Crisis
Every week, a person sleeping rough on our streets has to walk 28km to find shelter or a place to sleep.
Please sponsor my challenge to support the most vulnerable people in our community.
Every step I take and every dollar you help us raise will deliver love, support and assistance to those in crisis. Thank you.
So far I helped deliver:
87
care packs
433
home-cooked meals
34
days crisis accommodation
…to people sleeping rough on our streets or in crisis.
Thank you to my Sponsors
