Nathan’s 50th Birthday Fundraiser

By Nathan Rattley

I'm fundraising to become a Hutt St hero!

I'll be raising funds for the 6,000 people experiencing homelessness in South Australia. All funds go to Hutt St Centre who have been supporting people for more than 65 years by providing a hearty meal, a hot shower, all in a safe, welcoming space.

I’d be so grateful for your support!

Together we can help end homelessness.

We Rise by Lifting Others

Wednesday 11th May
Throughout my life I’ve had some incredibly tough times. My mother was born in India, and dealt with poverty and poor conditions. Once she moved to Australia all by herself, at a young age, everything she did was from then on had something to do with helping people, especially children. She was then left to struggle and raise two of her own young kids on by herself , with little financial support. Struggling to put food on the table and keep a roof over our heads. She would work tirelessly for little reward just to have extra. 
She was a hero to me, an absolute hero. Often taking in homeless people, looking after those in need, time and time again. One of the kindest souls I’ve ever experienced. 
I inherited those traits. And do feel that it’s our responsibility to look after each other. 
In most recent years I’ve been through absolute rock bottom. Mentally, financially. I crawled and climbed through depression, anxiety, alcoholism, loosing everything I’d ever worked for including my house. Due to one single human being. 
I have since worked very hard on rediscovering myself. And reinventing my life. It has not been easy. 
But I’m here. And to make it to 50 should never have happened. I did my best not to be here. 
But I am, and I’m extremely greatful. 
Therefore, what a better way to celebrate than to call upon the hearts of others, and help those in need, those less fortunate. Those doing it really hard. Those who don’t have the luxuries we have. 
I could not think of a better thing to do. Is there really any greater reward than to help your fellow man/woman. 

“We rise, by lifting others”.... 
Thankyou for your time and donation.
