Story
Hi friends and family,
I’m taking on the Live Like Her Challenge 2024 to help more homeless women over 55 into a home (this is the fastest growing demographic of homeless in SE QLD - one in eight homeless are women over 55!).
On September 5th, I will be sleeping in my car, to raise awareness and funds for The Forgotten Women project, an initiative which is close to my heart. I am constantly hearing stories of women my age, who don't have a roof over their head, and it is breaking my heart.
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!

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.
