Our Jo Twible was asked by a friend to do the Vinnie’s CEO sleepout. After thinking long and hard about it (about 20 seconds) she said ‘damn it, I should just do it’.

Homelessness is real, even in as comparatively affluent a city as Canberra. This is a cause close to Jo’s heart. In her youth, she experienced being poor - not knowing if her Mum would be able to cover the rent, not being able to afford a paid of sneakers (at one point asking her friends to chip in together to get her a pair for my 21st).

“I’ve know poor” says Jo “ but homelessness I’ve never had the misfortune to know. There are many in our community who have also done it tough over the years.”

If you can, please support Jo during the Vinnies CEO Sleepout. Your donation will help the St Vincent de Paul Society empower more people to get off the streets and into stable accommodation. Vinnies provides counselling, education, health and employment services to help people to lift themselves out of the cycle of poverty.

Every donation is meaningful. Just 100 dollars can provide a whole family with warm, nutritious meals this winter. Any amount is helpful!

Today I had the pleasure of moving the admission of one of our staff who has been with us throughout most of his studies. We are immensely proud of Ben. Those of our clients who have engaged with Ben will no doubt agree with me that he will be an amazing lawyer both from the technical side of the law but, importantly, the type of lawyer who genuinely strives to do their best for our clients and who sees them for the real people they are. Congratulations Ben!
