Story
Downer Utilities is proud to participate in the Live Like Her Challenge 2024, an initiative to raise awareness and funds for The Forgotten Women Project. For one night, we’ll be sleeping in our cars to highlight a critical issue: the increasing number of homeless women over 55.
Did you know that over 40,000 Queensland women aged 55 and above are currently facing severe financial hardship due to rising living costs, limited employment opportunities, insufficient superannuation, and a shortage of affordable housing? Alarmingly, this number is expected to double by 2036.
Women experiencing homelessness are often referred to as the ‘hidden homeless.’ They are less visible, frequently staying with friends, living in their cars, or otherwise ‘hiding’ due to their vulnerable situation.
We believe that everyone deserves to live with dignity and age securely in place. Your support can make a tangible difference. Click “Donate Now” to contribute to this crucial cause. All donations over $2 are tax-deductible, and you'll receive an automatic receipt via email.
Thank you for your generosity and support in making a positive impact on the lives of those who need it most.
