Informal shelter for homeless people in Newstead, Brisbane Australia. Photo by Craig Jewell.

The 139 Club Homeless Shelter is located at 505 Brunswick Street, Fortitude Valley in Brisbane. My cousin Jason volunteers at the shelter on a regular basis. They are holding a walk to raise much needed funds this Saturday (30th August) at 2:45pm. It is a scenic 6km walk from the 139 Club taking in the Story Bridge, riverside walk, Goodwill Bridge and Botanic Gardens. It will finish back at the 139 Club.

I am writing to you to ask you to sponsor me this Saturday.

If everyone reading this (including YOU) donated just $5/kilometre ($30 total), we would raise over $1000!

There’s noone on my mailing list who doesn’t have it better than any of Brisbane’s homeless and cannot afford $30 (or more)

To sponsor me, make your donation in either of the two ways:

1. Put it on your credit card (Note: you do not need to be a PayPal member and you do not need to join up – see the link under “Don’t have a PayPal account?” on the left)

2. Do a direct deposit (Account name: WEBNERD; BSB Number: 304-123; Account Number: 900529-9).  Please include your name as the “reference” and email me to let me know that you’ve done it.

Donations over $2 are tax deductible.  If you want a receipt, please email me letting me know how much you donated and your postal address).

If you would also like to participate in the walk, let me know and I will send you the information.
