Heroes for the homeless

WITH the recent introduction of sleepbus to the community, the homeless issue is slowly being addressed and supported. There have been two women that have been supporting the homeless for many years.

Josie and Trish, the dedicated minds behind J&T Supporting Homeless, have become beacons of hope for the homeless community during a mounting housing crisis and a lack of affordable options on the Fraser Coast.

Their unwavering commitment to providing food and essential items addresses immediate needs and fuels a crucial fight for more secure, safe and affordable housing options.

As the cost-ofliving soars and affordable homes become scarce, homelessness has sadly become a harsh reality for many.

Recognising the pressing need for action, Josie and Trish have stepped up to provide sustenance and support to those most affected by this crisis.

Through J&T Supporting Homeless, they offer a lifeline with nourishing meals that ensure no one goes hungry in the community. But their impact goes beyond food provision. Josie and Trish tirelessly collect and distribute essential items, understanding the significance of hygiene products and warm clothing for the well-being and dignity of those experiencing homelessness.

What sets Josie and Trish apart is their personal touch. They take the time to listen to the stories and struggles of homeless individuals, offering a compassionate ear, forging friendships, providing much needed emotional support and a sense of belonging.

J&T’s work creates a ripple effect in the community, inspiring others to get involved, fostering unity and shared responsibility. Through their advocacy, Josie and Trish raise awareness about the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness, breaking stereotypes and promoting understanding.
