Taking part in the Big Sleep Out gave these young supporters a glimpse into what life is like for people facing homelessness.

Because of their support, we can be there more for people facing homelessness.

Jacqui was homeless for a year-and-a-half.

Until Porchlight gave Jacqui new hope.

On Oct 10, you could provide a lifeline for others by taking part in the Big Sleep Out.
