“And because of that, he’d got his life back.”
We used to deliver a lot of bus stops. Mainly it felt like we were just ticking a box, but we would receive the occasional letter.
One time, a single mum in Buderim wrote in to say that thanks to a new bus stop and path, her disabled son could now get himself to the bus. And because of that, he’d got his life back.
That was a huge win for her and her son.
Life at council
