A Week of Community, Kindness, and Moving Forward

Amber Porter

This week has been a whirlwind of heartwarming support and progress for our mission to help Brisbane's homeless community.


Gear Up for Winter:

A huge thank you to Mary Ann from FleetCrew for facilitating a tent delivery from Anaconda. Three tents were set up immediately, along with the fantastic bedding packs provided by Kim. These essential supplies will be a lifesaver as winter approaches.



Community Support Makes a Difference:

We were incredibly touched by the generosity of Malaysia Nyonya House and Little Nyonya Kitchen. Their fundraiser resulted in a heartwarming donation, including someone paying a staggering $100 for donated spring rolls! This exemplifies the incredible depth of support within our community.



A Passion for Art and Helping Others:

Diana Briscoe, one of our dedicated volunteers, recently sold some of her artwork and generously donated the proceeds to support Carla and her artistic endeavors. We're so grateful for Diana's talent and generosity.


Finding Stability for Carla:

Carla, a talented artist we support, is currently facing challenges due to her transient lifestyle. Her previous tent was unfortunately disposed of by the council due to its condition. We're working with Carla to find a more stable location before providing her with art supplies.


Random Acts of Kindness:

We've been incredibly fortunate this week to receive two separate $100 cash donations, along with a $50 BCF voucher – all from individuals dropping off donations. These unexpected acts of generosity are deeply appreciated.


Building a Volunteer Network:

We're excited to welcome a new volunteer to the team! The gentleman whose tent we replaced recently offered his time and assistance with setting up tents and restocking food pantries. This not only helps us directly but also provides our supporters with a sense of purpose and connection.


A Well-Deserved Break:

The next few weeks will see me taking a short break. Nick Powell has volunteered to handle things in my absence and will be providing daily updates, just like I do. A huge thank you to Nick for his dedication and willingness to step up.


Shout Out to Amazing Volunteers:

Finally, a big thank you to Karen and Dani for answering the call and volunteering their time at the stand this evening. Your support is invaluable!


We'll see you all again soon, and in the meantime, stay tuned for Nick's daily updates.
