Hello friends and supporters! Your support with my petition has helped so much.

We now have... drum roll... 119 signatures! 🎉

Not only that, but I have some more exciting news!!

I now have a disability advocate on board to help me navigate the NDIS ART Tribunal! 🎉 I'll be chatting with my new advocate tomorrow to give them more information about my circumstances!!

I've met so many of you while I've been out and about campaigning – some of you I saw at the Mardi Gras Parade – thank you for your support! Others I've met at concerts, after shows, in the accessible sunflower sensory room, or out and about in the community.

Some days I'm very confident, as I am in my YouTube videos, but other days my anxiety skyrockets, and I can seem as though I don't know what to say or how to respond. Face-to-face conversations can be challenging for me because my Autistic brain doesn't always know how to respond socially.

But, I'm **DETERMINED** to put myself out there in any way I can, because to me, supporting this cause is worth every minute of that discomfort. In fact, the NDIA and tribunal process have caused me more discomfort than I can ever possibly explain. I've been fighting so hard to get what I need, tirelessly for years now – and I will not give up the fight! 💪🔥

I’ve been listening to your struggles and stories, and they’ve made me even more determined to push for change in this country. Please keep sharing your stories, not just with me, but throughout your communities. Your personal experiences, and your support for my work, are keeping me motivated AND giving me more energy to keep up the good fight!

I'm so grateful to everyone who has chipped in to help in so many ways—whether by signing, sharing, or even donating money to help this petition reach more people. And I can't forget those of you who have just stopped, listened, and helped me in some way, shape, or form, directly out of the kindness of your hearts – you know who you are! *People like you truly help this world become a better place.* THANK YOU.

This is just the beginning though. *excited, yet nervous grin*

While I have an advocate on board, I still need legal support and... still... face homelessness. That being said, I still need help because right now, the NDIA has a legal representative, and I don't. It's just not fair! :(

I’ve been printing out petition flyers to spread the word, but it’s getting expensive with printing and stationery costs. I've spent most of my free time colouring my flyers and handwriting on them, though that has come to a bit of a standstill, as I injured my right hand yesterday, so I spent most of today putting up flyers rather than colouring them in. 🤕✋

Today, someone let me know of a place where there's a printer I can use for free. If you're reading this, THANK YOU! I'll keep this in mind when my hand recovers a bit more.

Some people think I’m putting too much time and effort into this petition, but I believe it's worth it, because I don’t want anyone else to struggle like I have.

If my petition means a lot to you, and you want to help but can't afford to chip in, then I've got an idea! 🚀💡

You can print out your own flyers and put them around your neighbourhood! Stay tuned, and I'll share a QR code in a future update. Then we can make an even bigger impact! If you could do that, it would mean the world to me!

If not, would you please help me get more signatures by sharing this petition on social media? 🙏😊 Facebook groups, Discord, Snapchat, SMS chats, X, email, and WhatsApp all work great. If more of us sign, we can’t be ignored!

Every new signature is a step closer to having people hear our message.

Thanks again for supporting not just me, but all people with disabilities. You may not realise it, but ONE VOICE can make a *huge* difference.

Think about how many voices it takes to make a crowd cheer so loud—when we all come together, we can create that kind of impact!

I'll keep you all updated as much as I can.

❤️ Jaz
