💛 A Story of Resilience, Hope & Second Chances 💛

At iKare Support Services, we believe that your past does not define your future.

In this heartfelt interview, our founder Amanda Scott sits down with Joshua, one of the most inspiring people we’ve had the privilege to support.

Josh’s journey hasn’t been easy, but through incredible strength, a positive outlook, and a passion for helping others, he’s turned his life around. Whether it’s mentoring young people, supporting his community, or simply sharing a kind word, Josh embodies the values we hold close: empathy, compassion, and giving back. 🌟

Amanda shares her personal experience of meeting Josh over two years ago and witnessing his transformation firsthand. His dream? To help young people avoid the mistakes he’s seen and to inspire them toward a better future.

📹 Watch the full video to hear their conversation and be inspired by Josh’s story.

Let’s celebrate resilience and the power of second chances. 🙌
