You may remember Joshua from his excellent culinary skills. Joshua also follows boxing and recently got to see his favourite boxer John Wayne Parr defeat Anthony Mundine. His support worker Jason organised with John Wayne Parr to meet Joshua at the Gold Coast at his gym, have half an hour training session and sparring, plus sign some merchandise. Needless to say, Joshua is over the moon!

Gutsy Phillip's Green Thumb

Meet Phillip. Phillip is deaf, but that doesn't stop him from wanting to better himself, strive for a job and be part of the horticultural community here in Toowoomba.
Meet Michael, Anita and Brian. Michael, Anita and Brian are from Simply Gorgeous Plants, 150 Drayton Road have been helping Phillip to one day achieve his dream. Phillip has been volunteering at the nursery and despite quite a few challenges in his way, has chosen to work very hard and shown great determination. This is with the end goal of Phillip eventually entering the workforce

Michael, Anita, Brian along with Phil’s support worker Jason, have worked with Phil educating him in the industry while also learning a solid routine of watering, weeding, cleaning and tending to merchandise around the nursery. We are so proud of Phil for his very gutsy and sometimes very hot, sweaty efforts!!
***Watch this space***
We have a feeling it won’t be long until Phil’s next goal of entering the workforce becomes a reality! The next goal after this?? It may have something to do with a steering wheel and four wheels!! (Beep beep!)
Great work, Phillip!! In the past, they looked so far away, but now we’re so excited to be able to support you in achieving these dreams.
