On Saturday, 11 July, my family and I will be sleeping out under the stars at WIN Jubilee Oval, home of the St George Illawarra Dragons. We will be sleeping out on the field to raise awareness and funds for youth homelessness. Whilst it is only one night for us, sleeping out in the open, in rough conditions, is a reality for many people every night. I would like to acknowledge the tireless efforts of Kogarah Community Services and the Neighbourhood Centre for organising this event and, in particular, Cathy Nisbet for her work. Kogarah Community Services is a not-for-profit community organisation that has been providing much-needed services to the local area for 40 years.
