We recently met Antony Jackson, founder of We Can Now, a group of individuals who have been through the everyday struggle of being without the essentials in life such as homelessness, no food, single-parent homes, lack of resources and seek to meet those needs for others. Antony’s life story is so similar to John Paul’s, and so is his positivity and infectious optimism. These two leaders were destined to work together!
We joined Antony and his team to serve Thanksgiving meal, hot coffee and warm clothes to folks living under a bridge in Austin. One of the fun parts was getting to shop for some winter weather essentials beforehand! The We Can Now team was so supportive and thoughtful in terms of what they served - healthy food, food for pets and warm blankets and tents. The people we met who are unhoused were so kind and waited patiently on a cold day. It was so nice to come together as a community and serve joy. Thanks to Antony for his leadership and vision!
