Story
Hi friends, family and colleagues,
I am participating in the Live Like Her Challenge 2023 to help more homeless women over 55 into a home. For one night, I will be sleeping in a car, to raise awareness and funds for The Forgotten Women project.
So why me and why this challenge?
I first became aware of this challenge when information was shared around my workplace at Brisbane Airport who are supporting this challenge. I had no idea of the homelessness challenges facing so many women in our society. I come from a large family with 7 sisters, 1 daughter, 3 granddaughters and 13 nieces, so I thought I have seen most of the challenges that women face. But regardless of what the women in my family were going through there was always that big family there to support them to overcome those challenges.
When I learnt about the challenges that were facing "the forgotten women" I wanted to do my bit to raise awareness and some money to try and make a difference.
To support me, click “Donate Now” to make a secure online donation as “Everyone deserves to live with dignity and age securely in place”.
All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will get a receipt automatically via email.
Thank you for your support!
Pete

The Forgotten Women
Mangrove Housing is the founder of The Forgotten Women Project, an initiative committed to providing homes to homeless women over 55 years of age - the fastest growing homeless population in Australia today.There are more than 40,000 Queensland women over the age of 55 who are doing it tough - suffering financial hardship driven by rising costs, lack of employment, limited superannuation and a lack of affordable housing options. Across the Greater Brisbane area there are over 600 homeless women over 55 .Alarmingly this figure is predicted to more than double by 2036. The Forgotten Women's mission is to provide fit-for-purpose housing for homeless women over 55 with individually tailored support. Everyone deserves to live with dignity and age securely in place.
