Why I Febfast

I signed up for FebFast…Not because I hit rock bottom.. relax 😌.. just because I realised my wine glass and I were spending a lot of quality time together 🍷. But the real reason is Lifeline, because when someone is struggling, having someone listen can literally change everything. Because life gets heavy sometimes and when someone is in crisis, a listening ear can be everything and might actually save life. That’s what Lifeline does, every single day. Meanwhile, I’m temporarily breaking up with wine 🍷 (we’re on a “it’s not you, it’s growth” break). So here’s the deal: If I can raw-dog reality without wine for a month… you can skip one dramatic little coffee ☕ and donate to a great cause. Support Lifeline. Support my journey into becoming someone who voluntarily drinks water. Also, I am writing and reading a poem on an IG story for each donor/sponsor. Pls let me know if you’d like to be tagged on.. ☺️😊 dm @sarupa_swatantrata

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 PROGRESS

Check out my Febfast calendar to see my progress! You can choose a date to sponsor me with a One-OFF Pass. It will give me a night off my challenge while still supporting Australians in crisis.

MY IMPACT SO FAR

I've raised $269 so far - that's 6 calls answered for Lifeline's crisis support hotline.

Every $39 helps power another call, offering hope and crucial moments of connection to people in their toughest moments. Will you back me with a donation?
