Why I Febfast
I’m taking on Febfast to support people in crisis. Life can feel overwhelming, and having someone to listen makes all the difference. Please donate to help Lifeline be there when it matters most.
Every 24 seconds, someone in Australia reaches out to Lifeline for help
That’s more than 3,000 people every single day who just need someone to listen. By skipping the sip for one month, I’m not only giving my body a break – I’m helping make sure Lifeline can be there, anytime and anywhere, for the people who need it most.
It’s a small challenge for me, but it could mean life-changing support for someone else.
Together we can ensure Lifeline can continue to be there 24/7 so that no one has to face their toughest moments alone.

My experience with lifeline
Thursday 15th Jan As someone diagnosed with major depressive disorder who on occasions has suffered from suicidal thoughts and ideation, lifeline has been a handy “tool” in the “toolkit” for me. A handful of times over many years, usually very late at night when I haven’t wanted to stress out friends or family, I’ve contacted lifeline just to have someone to talk to about how awful I was feeling. Someone who can lend an ear and give empathy to a complete stranger is such a blessing. Sometimes just hearing a voice made the difference when I felt so alone and sad. Thankfully I haven’t needed to use the service in quite some time as I'm relatively happy and have a good support network. It’s great to know someone’s always there to have a chat if I need it though. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
