Whenever life feels tough, just know someone else has it harder and there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
Brin
I know life can feel really hard right now but please remember you are important and your story is not finished. You are special and deserve love and kindness. Every storm runs out of rain. Even in tough times your light can shine. I see you I care about you and you matter.
Levi Banks
No matter how heavy today feels, tomorrow holds new possibilities. You are worthy of kindness, love, and a fresh start don't give up!
Nicoletta
No matter how tough things feel right now, hope is still alive. Every day is a chance for something better, for warmth, safety, and new opportunities. You’re stronger than you think, and brighter days are still ahead.
Georgia Rugari
even if life feels like it’s against you right now, it doesn’t mean it’ll always be this way. Tough times don't last. Tough people do. You matter more than the tough times you’re going through. I know it’s hard to keep believing when everything feels heavy, but there are people who care and want to see you get through this. You’ve already shown strength by making it this far.
''Cody''
Walking a mile might not seem like much, but when you do it for something that matters, its so important. Walk a Mile for Homelessness isn’t just about the steps we take, but about the people we’re walking for. Every day, thousands of Australians don’t have a safe place to sleep. This walk is special because it reminds us that we can make a difference, no matter who we are. It’s about showing kindness, raising awareness, and saying, “You matter. We see you.”
Tayla
Sometimes it's easy to walk past someone doing it tough and not know what to say or do. But today, we're not walking past instead we are walking for them.
Indi
To everyone struggling with being unhoused, remember that home is not a place, but a place where love, safety, and kindness live. Sometimes it's the small things that make the biggest differences, a hot meal, a safe place to rest, or just knowing someone cares. I hope these differences give someone in need some comfort and the strength to face another day.
Mackenzie Spinks
While walking together, we show that no one ever has to face the hardship of homelessness alone. Each step we take is a promise of compassion dignity and hope for those sleeping and living rough. By standing as a united community, we can help create a place where everyone should feel safe, supported and valued. Together, our steps will make a change, open doors and bringing a lighter future for all.
Sophie
No matter how heavy the road feels today, you are not walking it alone. Every sunrise is a new chance for change, every step you take is proof of your strength, and every person who cares is a reminder that you matter. Your story is still being written, and there is hope in every page yet to come. You are seen, you are valued, and your future can still be brighter than you imagine
Sofia Barisic
I just want you to know that you’re not forgotten. Life can be really tough sometimes, and being without a home is one of the hardest things anyone can go through but no matter what, you matter. There are people out here who care and want to help. Keep holding on and don’t lose hope better days can come, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now. Dont forget to smile :)

We understand that life can change in unpredictable ways and that the difficulties you encounter are frequently much more severe than people realise. We understand that homelessness isn't always obvious and that it goes beyond not having a place to sleep but it can also feel like being forgotten, unheard, and invisible. This walk is for you. It's how we demonstrate our concern for you by listening to you, learning about your difficulties, and supporting you. Through our actions, we hope to convey the message to you that you're important, respected, and deserving of hope, support, and help. We believe that by walking together, we can create a community where nobody is left behind and where everyone genuinely understands and cares for one another.

Being a part of the Hutt Street Centre community supporting people experiencing homelessness comes in many ways. A shout-out to all donors - through the HSC we can all make a difference…. 🤗
Greg Mackie
Although it's hard to imagine your future, things can only get better. You are cared about, you are not forgotten about, you are loved and you are not alone. I have the deepest respect for each and every one of you, I only wish I was a millionaire so I could help you all. I lost someone very close to me who lived on the streets because he was in hiding from someone who hurt him over and over again. It takes a strong person to live every day in extreme weather, hungry, tired, scared and feeling judged. Don't ever forget people like me think of you every day and those who judge you are weak, they couldn't make it a single day in your shoes. Be proud of yourself and never stop fighting for the life you deserve !!!
Lisa
All change comes from action and support and more importantly love, for those who are homeless who need this I could never say no.
Courtenay Schmidt
There is no good in being cold, hungry, wet, alone, poor. Hope might be the last to disappear, but these circumstances sorely test it. This is the time to think locally.
Richard
Crazy weather, crazy world… we do what we can to build community and create a better world… 🧡☮️⛈️🌈

You are not alone
Vanessa
To view and see the many struggles those experience whilst being homeless is one of the most heartbreaking realities I have yet to experience. It is very easy to push the truth away when you are not experiencing them however the daily struggles and trauma, they have to do with is unavoidable. I pray by the power of God we are able to continue to help solve and fix this ongoing issue and make sure we are doing the best we can to give back by donating our time, food, clothing and our resources to provide more security for those who are homeless.
Soraya
Being homeless is a feeling which I haven't experienced yet I can feel the pain and suffering of it. Homelessness wears many faces, as in Adelaide, it might be the person walking the streets on a cold morning. In Palestine, it's families displaced from homes, carrying pain and resilience in equal measure. This walk is not just about distance — it’s about solidarity. It’s about saying: “We see you. We care. We will walk beside you.” May our steps bring warmth to someone’s winter… and may peace and shelter come to every soul who’s ever been forced to leave home.
Juned Mehmood Khan
I’m supporting the’Walk a mile in my boots’ campaign so that the Hutt st. Centre can help people in need, especially in these cold winter months.
Terry Morgan
Everyone deserves to feel safe & secure! Thank you to the amazing Hutt St Centre for all you do to provide some comfort in tbe lives of South Aussies who need it. Love your work!
Shari
Every person deserves a safe place to sleep, a warm meal, and the dignity of being seen and supported. I’m raising money to help. This isn’t just about giving—it’s about restoring hope, showing compassion, and reminding every person experiencing homelessness that they are not invisible. 💛
Desiree Towler-Peel

Don't give up. We see you. There is hope. Know that there are people here that cares and can help you. You are valuable. I pray blessings over your life and protection.
Sophia
You are not forgotten, even in the hardest moments, your life holds value and possibility. There is hope, there is help, and there are people who care. You deserve safety, dignity and a future filled with light.
Michelle Goody
To You, Who’s Facing Homelessness Right Now, I may not know your name or your story, but I want you to know this. You matter. Your life, your strength, your existence, it all matters. You are not invisible. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. Life may have pushed you into places you never expected to be, but where you are today is not where you will always be. This moment does not define your worth. It does not determine your future. There is hope, even when things feel heavy and dark. There are people who care, and there are people fighting to change the system, people walking to raise awareness, people who believe in your right to safety, dignity, and a home. Please hold on. Keep going. Your story is still being written, and there are brighter chapters ahead. You are strong. You are resilient. And you are deeply, unconditionally worthy of love and support.
Wynter
I see the unconditional worth of every being - humans and horses alike. No matter our species, each of us are equally worthy of respect, kindness and love. This year my team of 4 humans and 2 rehomed horses are walking in peaceful solidarity with people experiencing homelessness.
Mel McLaren -Walking with Horses in Nature

For all the people in Adelaide that are doing it tough. You are not alone and there are always people that will help when you ask.
Tyler
Being homeless is the ultimate challenge. I'm challenging myself to walk 10 miles each day of Homelessness Week to raise money to help to alleviate the problem and give some hope to those who are homeless.
Alan
I know together we can change our lives for the better. We all deserve to have our own space to live in, our safe place that we can call home and i believe it is definitely achievable
Jubayed
Your circumstances don't determine your value. You are inherently worthy, just by being here on this Earth.
Tammy
Anyone doing it tough without shelter to live in is very much thought of at the moment. Hang in there. Seek out help. Many thanks also sent to the tireless workers at Hutt Street
Catherine Marshall
Imagine the difference we could make if we all contributed what we could. My heart goes out to those struggling and I hope that we have a successful campaign to help them as much as possible. 😊
Steph Westphal
The staff at the Hutt st centre work tirelessly to support people experiencing homelessness to feel safe, warm and gain access to shelter, clothing, food, medical assistance and so much more! But they can't do it without donations! Please give what you can to help people in Adelaide who are doing it tough to stay warm this winter and work towards finding a safe place to call home once again.
Kylie
In winter I think a lot about people sleeping outside or in unsafe places. I hope that the money raised this year helps folks to find a warm, dry, cosy place to rest for a while and find support.
Nat
I wish everyone who doesn't have a warm place to call home much love, peace and hope. Know that you are not alone - there are people around who can make the journey towards finding a safe place a reality. Don't give up - you are more than worthy of so much more.
Emmy Silvius
Everyone deserves a warm & dry place to sleep, food to eat & warm clothes to wear

Heather
FROM A EX HOMELESS PERSON, MY SIMPLE MESSAGE IS NEVER GIVE UP. AS TOUGH AS IT GETS NEVER GIVE UP.
Mike
Taking just one mile is a small step for me—but it represents support, awareness, and change for those who walk much tougher roads every day. I want to be part of that change…
Anna
Anybody could end up in this situation at some point in their lives due to unforeseen situations. Everyone deserves a calm safe space.to live/sleep with a roof over their heads in times of hardship.
Brenda
I was homeless 2 years ago and Hutt st homeless centre was an amazing support for me being a young woman on my own I always felt safe at the centre and through the help of the social workers there I now have my own place I've had for 2 years. I want to give back to the people that helped me and let people know there is hope!!
Adele Charvetto
Every person deserves a warm & safe place to live, healthy food & beverages especially a nice warm drink on a cold night. Too know they are cared about & not alone. Let’s work together and put a end to homelessness please.
Abby Key
I had a discussion with my son over dinner earlier in the year. Essentially about ‘why we’re here.’ We discussed doing good deeds and spreading love and that’s why I want to walk a mile! Homelessness is something that can happen to anyone and there is so much stigma around homelessness and not enough understanding.
Jess
Homeless can be judged by many, but many may not understand that this could happen to anybody. Please don’t ever think you’re alone, there are people that care, want to help and support you through this tough time. Stay strong have faith and believe this 🙏🧡
Wendy
My heart goes out to you if you are struggling and I can't imagine what it must be like since I am in a secure, warm place. So that's why I decided to do something practical and try to raise money to help with providing support. Sending hugs
Alice Low
I know how hard it is for many people and think that walking for you helps me too. Know that I care, Light and love.

Tristan Harbour
I don’t know what I’ve done to live the privileged life I have… a warm home, good food to eat, and so forth. I don’t know how or why so many people are homeless or struggling to make ends meet. I just want to help

I’m sorry for any time that I may have walked passed you. My aim is to stop, give time, connect, with anyone sitting on a street without a home. Sometimes I get it right. You are thought of and you matter.
Danielle
To the homeless we know how tough it is for you and any way we can help we believe we would .
Arette Dawson
