This was the chance for a group of friends to support each other in various states of Australia and globally.
Technology can be a good tool for communication. But these brothers and sisters went one step further. They bought and sold a tremendous amount of goods to supply not only their needs but others too.

When you invest in the lives of others, particularly those that have lost hope, you sow a seed of paying forward.
