Story
Hey everyone
This year I am taking on the Live Like Her Challenge 2024 to help more homeless women over 55 into a home. For one night, we will be sleeping in a car, to raise awareness and funds for The Forgotten Women project, an initiative close to my heart, like many others.
In greater Brisbane alone, over 700 women over 55 are currently facing hardships. Referred to as the hidden homeless, these women may be living in cars, couch surfing, or facing threats of violence, among other challenges. This crisis expands beyond Brisbane and Queensland, this is happening all over Australia. The Forgotten Women movement is doing more than raising funds and awareness, they are setting a standard that we must do better for this cohort.
I am asking for support from my networks to support me with this cause. Click “Donate Now” to make a secure online donation. All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will get a receipt automatically via email.
“Everyone deserves to live with dignity and age securely in place”.
Thanks for your support.

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.
