Building Bridges Through Laundry: Samantha Brust's Orange Sky Journey
In the bustling streets of Perth, Samantha Brust has found a unique way to make a difference through Orange Sky. What began as a corporate social responsibility initiative has blossomed into a personal passion, with Samantha and her husband now volunteering fortnightly.
"AJ is just awesome. He's a great human, and he's really helped, I guess, to create a connection where he knows people," Samantha shares, highlighting the importance of lived experience in building trust with Orange Sky's friends.
For Samantha, Orange Sky is more than just a laundry service; it's a platform for creating meaningful connections. "I think friendship is kind of the, I guess the base of what brings connection to humans," she reflects, emphasizing how these connections are vital for both volunteers and those experiencing homelessness.
Samantha notes the unique safe space that Orange Sky provides: "Orange Sky doesn't have any of that. It's just really gorgeous that people can come, sit, relax." This environment fosters natural conversations and deeper connections, setting Orange Sky apart from other services.
As Orange Sky approaches its 10-year milestone, Samantha sees potential for growth in linking environmental sustainability with social impact. Her insights offer a glimpse into how Orange Sky can continue to innovate and make a difference in communities across Australia.
