All our hearts feel sad when we see somebody homeless and struggling, especially in such a small community like our own.
Local resident John Burke shared this publicly on a local community chat site when he expressed his feelings after seeing a man sleeping on a footpath next to Flour & Eggs lunch bar.
John posted onto the Whitsundays Noticeboard Facebook chat asking for the community to help.
He explained that he had been contacting services to aid the man for over an hour, but no one was available. So, John decided to reach out to our wonderful caring community via Facebook.
To his joy, Isaac from Youth With a Mission (YWAM) arrived and helped the man.
“Many thanks to Isaac from YWAM, he just arrived getting him some breakfast and arranging some temporary accommodation for him,” John posted on Facebook.
“Isaac mentioned he is well known to him and is continuing to work with him. Thank you so very much to all of you in being so prompt to spread the word and to the person who sent Isaac to help.
“So thankful to YWAM whose hearts are set powerfully to help anyone in need in the community!”
Isaac provided an update on the man and said “We have offered him food, tents, and other supplies. He said he's good. Thank you for everyone in the community for the love you've shown.”
