Thankyou Trolleyman

Uodate 17/11/2018 We’ve reached our goal! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated and supported the fundraiser. Michael is extremely grateful for your support and would like to extend his thanks and gratitude to everyone.

We’ll be continuing to support Michael through National Homeless Collective for as long as he needs us.

We’ll be closing the campaign shortly as we have reached the target and we intended to have it running for a week which is now up.

What an incredible effort. This will be life changing for Michael. Thank you all once again.

Update 13/11/18. We met with Michael yesterday. And can we tell you, he’s just the lovelies person. So humble and doesn’t believe the Hero status we know he truly deserves. We bought him a new phone to replace the one that was smashed in the incident. He is so grapple the support he has received and is quite overwhelmed by it all. 

As promised, 100% of the funds raised for Michael will go to him. They will be held in a trust account with our accountants at One Ledger who have very generously offered to oversee the handling of the funds and make sure Michael is well taken care of and guided financially as he moves forward.

We will keep this campaign open until Sunday 18 November to give everyone who would like a chance to donate.

Thanks again eveyone. Please see our Facebook page ‘National Homeless Collective for future updates.

“UPDATE: We’ve found him! What an absolutely incredible human. We had a long chat on the phone today and we’re even more proud of him. Our hero is humble as can be and had no idea about this fundraiser. We’ll be catching up tomorrow to hand over his donations. He is amazing”

On November 9 2018 an incredible man named Michael Rogers from Melbourne, now known as ‘Trolleyman’, put his own life at risk to stop a terrorist who was on a rampage. Mr Rogers bravely shoved a shopping trolley at the terrorist in an attempt to assist police in his capture.

We’ve since learned that our hero ‘Trolleyman’ homeless and that his phone was destroyed in the incident. We believe his efforts deserve a reward that can really help him out. 

We’re a registered charity,  (National Homeless Collective) supporting people experiencing homelessness, and all funds donated to this campaign will go directly to Mr Rogers to help get him back on his feet.

He’s a hero in our eyes and he can do what he feels best with any funds he receives.  He risked his own life that day for nothing in return and you can’t put a price on that.

*Update: we apologise that we’re updating by editing but unfortunately due to some glitch I can’t get the actual update button to work.

We’re absolutely blown away by everyone’s generosity and spirit in helping our hero ‘Trolleyman’, get back on his feet. We don’t actually have a set target to reach but due to the incredible generosity we’ve seen so far we’ll keep increasing the total accordingly. We’ve far surpassed our original goal. Let’s aim for the sky. Our hero absolutely deserves it. 

Thank hou you so much everyone!
