I just want you to know you are more than enough ❤️

From one brother to another, no matter the circumstances every human being deserves a roof over there head and a home cooked meal. When I was a young boy my mother showed me and my sister a video from wayside chapel ( just until the other day we had no recognition of this) 25 years later I got clean and decided it's time to give back, randomly I choose wayside to support because there mission is so close to home for me. 5 years later and iv became a totally new man because of wayside chapels efforts. Wayside taught me that giving abit back never hurt anyone I CHOOSE LOVE OVER HATE.

Thanks for trusting us to support you xx As long as I can, I will always help. Big love and huge respect xx Vicki

Keep going.

Hope your luck improves and one day you can do this for someone else, as I have. Thanks

Enjoying the walks ☺️. Hoping to continue to support Wayside Chapel, helping to support our homeless community!

With love and hope for All, I am humbled to have been fortunate enough to be able raise a little tiny bit towards helping others 🌻 I am undertaking my walk in my little town - this view is what I see where I walk. I hope its beauty spreads some joy.

You are not alone. Walking for you, with you and alongside you. Always hang on and never give up because there is always another side and you don't know when it will come. You don't want to miss it. Be there for the other side when it comes. Love JJ

The kms walked daily is hard, really feeling it and now understanding how difficult it must be. Please know there is a lot of love from Sydney peeps for Sydney peeps. People who have sponsored me have each told me how much they appreciate the care and the community provided by Wayside - the enormous help for people in a time of crisis. I hope the warm fuzzies being transmitted are reaching you! ♥️

This is just temporary, every day is another opportunity for a better day

Homelessness is not usually a choice. It is a very hard way to live and very hard to get out of. The most vulnerable of people need to be seen. They need our support.

When Ted Noffs married us in August 1970 he gave us back the $10 cost because he thought we needed it more than he did. He was such a wonderful man. See photo below

HOPE - that's what I have learned to cherise.  Yes we fall, yes we fail, yes sometimes we screw up everything we touch. But each moment we live, is connected by a belief that the actions we take now, will next day, next week, next life, add up to something more, something bigger than ourselves. And then well the possibilities are infinite..... For a better future...x

Homelessness is something that affects so many people . Being homeless can make someone feel less than , invisible , alone ..... this October I am choosing love Over hate to stand with those who need it the most . You are not alone , you are loved , and it will and does get better.

This walk is a statement to the wider community that you are part of that community and that you matter

It’s Hard To Beat A Person Who Never Gives Up!

You are rockin' this....stay strong....as a migrant to these shores, I am grateful everyday. We stand united in seeking a better tomorrow for all.

I am so happy to give back to a wonderful place that’s has helped me in the hard times and good times wayside Bondi beach and the staff there are amazing support to me and my progress can’t wait to meet use all that will be walking the 28km day walk will be fun

Wishing all the walkers & support crew a good day tomorrow. I have opted for the virtual version and will walk in memory of my beautiful caring son who died aged 21 from heroin addiction in 2019. Each $ raised will help & support the Wayside Chapel & its community & visitors.

Thank you to the Wee Care Kindergarten and WC2 communities for your support in raising funds for our team WEE CARE FOR COMMUNITY. Colette and I will walk for all of you on Saturday.

Please remember you are not alone! You are loved and you are enough... always x

I don’t mind a stroll 🚶‍♀️ and a bit of exercise all for a worthy cause just remember a setback is a comeback waiting to happen never give up xoxo

From the walkers, to the vollies, to the donors, to those cheering us on at Wayside — you are all legends and I love you so much ❤️ Thank you for being my community and for loving me exactly as I am.

I wish you all the best. I wish you more happiness than you expected. I wish you hope these elephants had when they commensed their long walk to find a better life, and I wish you the luck and opportunity to be successful in your dreams. THis is the elephants on their long walk home after they saw what the rest of the world is.

Not only do I cook you all of those fabulous meals! On Saturday I will also walk on your behalf, SO STOP COMPLAINING!

There but for the grace of God.

I was homeless before and I know how hard, lonely and scary it can be and how low it can make a person feel. I want to show solidarity with people who are going through it now. This can happen to anyone, life is wild but that it can get better, with a bit of support. My goal that I hope to reach is to raise enough to help 10 vulnerable people to get that support and have that safer better future they deserve. Everyone needs support sometimes. Much love and I hope I don't let you down!❤️‍🔥

With big love and long hugs for all of the brave souls who make their way to the Wayside Chapel. Never forget that you matter. The same sentiment for those with kind hearts who give of themselves to help people in need. My hope, for you all to be safe, warm, and cared for. Also for me to resist the blister and go the distance.

I would walk a million miles to make every human being have a roof and love over their head God bless

Trust in God

This is my third year waking with the Wayside Chapel to raise funds for our homeless in Sydney Australia, only this time I am walking virtually as I am still in the USA honouring my commitments as Ms Australia International 2023. I am Speaking, fundraising and donating all proceeds this year from my books to women and children of domestic violence through my own charity organisation WHEELS & DOLLS motorbike group. I am extremely passionate about this cause as well. I myself and my four young children found ourselves homeless in 2012 after DV, my house fire and financial theft. Sometimes we find ourselves in horrendous circumstances through no fault of our own. Whatever the reasons are it’s irrelevant because everyone deserves a roof over their heads. Please help me to help those in need by donating just a small amount to my walk and one of the best charities we have in Australia. Love & Light ~mpwowerusleeza~

I began walking early this year, in Melbourne where I live. I have a nasty knee injury so can only do small distances at a time. Beautiful evening walk to a local reserve to kick things off yesterday, inspired by the many donations I got after sending out a call for donations to my friends and acquaintances...

I'm all in

I am the member of the Southern Cross Outdoor Group where we do occasional walk. We’ve done some walks suburbia , mostly about 8 km. Sometimes bushwalk. I just did the recent rally walk Vote yes Referendum from Redfern Park to Victoria Park

Hi everyone! Ive just joined the 28km long walk home week event. I have been experiencing homelessness myself on and off for 6 years now due to the cost of rent plus some personal issues. I have been very grateful to always at least have a roof over my head and to never go hungry but I know there are thousands out there who cannot say the same. Few of them I have had the pleasure of meeting. I love humanity and believe everyone deserves to be sheltered, showered and fed no matter the circumstance so I am happy to be part of a great cause. Thanks team, for what you are doing for the people on our streets 🥰 Also picture submitted is two different food parcels I received from Salvation Armt and St Vincent De Pauls.

You guys helped me so much when I was living on the streets 20 years ago, I’ll never forget it! Thank you so much for all you do!

I'm looking forward to walking in your shoes - sending love to each and everyone of you xx

Chose love over hate on our long walk home .💕❤️Nil aon tintean na do tintean fein translates there is no spirit like one’s own spirit.I will be there on the day hopefully will finish. Thinking of our angel Sarah on the day who has passed , but I feel with us in spirit.

Thinking of Lanz Priestley. Missing him 🌻

Please know you are not forgotten.

I will be part of the Wayside Family for as long as I possibly can. There are only a few ways that I can support, financially and with prayer and messages of support. Doing the long walk home virtually is one way to support you in your hour of need. I will do my best to complete my virtual walk with dignity and love. Remeber that God and others that Love you.

I walk beside you. You are my relative I haven’t yet met. I imagine my hand in yours as I walk. At the end of the walk I imagine all of us in a big circle of love, belonging together.

You are amazing

Wayside will always be the family I chose to be part of. You matter and there is someone who loves you for who you are in this community.

I never thought I’d find a way out of my darkest rock bottom. I felt sick, alone and numb, I couldn’t see any other place for me to go except death. If I hadn’t found Wayside that is where I would have gone. Thank you for holding up a light.

Scott and Byron - you are inspirational. #loveoverhate #community

I'm walking with my Sole Sisters group and we hope to raise $3,500. ❤️ to all my new friends at the Wayside community.

I love spending time with all of you when I am at Wayside on the front desk or in the cafe. You are all special and I love you all.

♡ Thank you for showing us what true courage looks like. ♡

My hope is that one day there will no longer be people who have to sleep rough, no more loneliness and isolation, no more judgement or hate. Until that time comes, thank God for the people who support the Long Walk Home! You matter, you are seen, and you are loved by many!!

You have love ❤️ You give love ❤️ You are love ❤️ Thanks Wayside & our dads for always choosing love over hate ❤️

You have love ❤️ You give love ❤️ Your are love ❤️ In memory of our Dads who believed in Love over Hate and all that Wayside Is❤️

I choose love over hate for people living on our streets, who need a hand, who need some love. You're not alone - we're with you!

Grateful to be able to support and wishing everybody a fulfilled and safe life full of love. Everybody deserves respect, everybody provides inspiration and everybody is loved and worthy.

Thank you spread the love to us humans

I’ve never been homeless, I’ve suffered from mental health issues. I’m so happy the wayside chapel is there for people who have both.

Meeting you guys & hearing your stories has been the best. You are the bravest people I’ve every met! So grateful to be joining the walk this year.

To all our brothers and sisters out there seeking the support of the amazing people of Wayside, please know we stand and walk beside you. We see you and want you to know that no matter how hard it gets you are never alone. Let's all choose love over hate.

I choose LOVE over hate and stand with Wayside Chapel and everything they do to help people living on our streets in Sydney.

Know that you are loved and not forgotten.
