Vodafone is supporting YMCA's Twelve Appeal, an event being held in Valletta today and tomorrow aimed at raising awareness of the plight of the homeless.

Tonight, from 11 onwards, 12 musicians will play acoustic sessions in Republic Street all night.

A group made up of Ira Losco, Moira Delia, Miriam Dalli, Peppi Azzopardi, Rachel Attard, Ray Calleja and Jotham from Scream Daisy, among others, will experience homelessness by living and sleeping outdoors on 12 mattresses for around 30 hours.

People may also take the opportunity of sponsoring a bed at the YMCA shelter by collecting a form during the event through which one-time or monthly donations from credit or debit accounts can be set up.

Food donations for YMCA will also be accepted by the celebrity homeless this weekend.

Benefactors may pledge Lm2 by sending an SMS on 5061 8088 or 5061 9212 for a Lm5 donation.
