What Citizen Advocacy Looks Like
Janine and Marie
"You can give as much time as you are able to give." - Janine
Marie and Janine’s story proves that advocacy isn’t complicated — it’s about patience, empathy, and friendship. A few hours, a phone call, or a shared hobby can make a lifelong difference.
Amanda and Deb
“Deborah has become a really important part of my life. Probably one of my closest friends.” — Amanda
When Amanda first became Deborah’s advocate, she thought she was just making a new friend. Six years later, Deborah is one of her closest friends, a travel companion, Parkrun volunteer, and someone who knows exactly what she wants in life. Their friendship is about confidence, resilience, and standing together when the world says “no.”
Gary and Gerard
“He brought me back from the bottom of my shoes up to how I am today.” — Gerard
Gary and Gerard’s connection began through athletics decades ago. When Gerard later faced significant challenges, Gary became his advocate. With steady encouragement and support, Gerard rebuilt his confidence and independence. Fourteen years later, their enduring friendship reflects the power of trust and commitment.
