We are taking part in the Roughin' It Challenge
Brooke is a proud Noongar-Yamatji woman, youth worker, mental health advocate, business owner and reality TV star. She has joined the Launch Housing family as ambassador for the Roughin’ It Challenge and would love you to join her!
Brooke has had her own experience of homelessness navigating the challenges of couch surfing as a teenager and has had family impacted by the trauma of homelessness, including her sister who she tragically lost in September 2021.
Homelessness is a human rights issue. It’s something we need to talk about and act on. I feel if people aren’t affected by it, it’s not spoken about, though it disproportionately affects our children and young people. Why are we not speaking about this? Our young people should not be on the streets.
Please join me in participating in The Roughin’ It Challenge in May! Let’s use this as opportunity to talk about how we can make Melbourne, and Australia as a whole, more liveable and affordable for everyone.
This challenge provides an opportunity for us to think about what we have and what we all take for granted every day, that so many do not have the luxury of having. We need more empathy and compassion for others.
Please help us by giving whatever you can. The more people that know about Launch Housing, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing our page with your friends and family.
Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!

There is something different about seeing something with your own eyes. I know your empathy must just be so much more deeper within you because this is something that’s not a foreign thing that ‘happens over there’. It’s something that is very real for you as it for me. I think homelessness is so often villainised & individuals are blamed for their circumstances. But it is is first & foremost a human rights issue & it is everyone’s problem; we shouldn’t shy away from homelessness bc our privilege makes it uncomfortable for us. We should acknowledge it, do the work & treat people who find themselves homeless with kindness. We are all so much closer to homeless then we think. Sorry about the small donation but promise my respect & admiration for you is larger then my donation can be at this time! 💕
For your sister Ky x
