This man with an intellectual disability dreamed of independence
Living with an intellectual disability and no family support, JP moved to Hervey Bay to start a new life. A challenging venture for anyone, he faced finding a safe place to live, a reliable job and friends in his new community.
Five years ago, JP found Endeavour Foundation where he was able to move into a supported independent living arrangement and finally have a home of his own.
Endeavour Foundation supported more than 4,000 people with a disability last year.
Not only that, but with the support of Endeavour Foundation, JP started a new job in supported employment at the local Timber Mill. JP loves where he lives, and he loves his friends. He’s made an incredible life for himself in Hervey Bay and it’s all thanks to the generosity of supporters like you.
