Support Jazzy's Gift
Jazzys Gift, is a not for profit organisation and encourages other charitys, community organizations and those in need, such as the homeless, to offer Gift Hearts as a popular and proven way to raise funds. Greg Morton the founder of Jazzys Gift, was inspired by two special people, "JAZZY AND WAYNE"
Jazzy, who is high functioning and autistic, spent 6 months in Franskston with mum and dads help, encouraging the homeless to offer gift hearts for a donation. It proved to be more popular and socially acceptable than begging.
WAYNE ...THE BIGGEST GIVER
Wayne a homeless man wandered into Greg's pizza shop begging for money, Greg offered him a pizza and drink, but was completely overwhelmed by Wayne's act of grattitude, he emptied his tiny purse of the few coins he had into Greg's tip jar, not once, but on three seperate occassions. From that time onwards Greg referred to Wayne as ..."THE BIGGEST GIVER.
Here was the poorest of the poor, emptying his entire purse into Greg's tip jar. A homelessman, it wasn't much, but it was all the coins he had. It was then that Jazzy suggested Wayne could offer her gift hearts for a donation instead of begging. Greg loved the idea and for the next two years until Wayne passed away, went out and raised much needed funds by offering the hearts. Greg will never forget how offering Gift Hearts built Wayne's sense of dignity, self worth and significance. Both Jazzy and Wayne's story, certainly motivated and inspired Greg to build the not for profit... JazzysGift.org
HOMELESS NOT HELPLESS
Jazzy and Greg with the help of a great team of supporters, have started the "Homeless Not Helpless Project" and are often out and about on week nights on Swanson st Melbourne, hanging out with the homeless encouraging them to offer Jazzys gift hearts as a donation instead of begging.
HELP GREG FIND "THE NEXT "BIGGEST GIVER"
Greg is looking for the next Wayne, the next "Biggest Giver" and we need your help too. If you want to come out for a fun night, we usually meet at Swanson Street station at 7, usually on a Tuesday night and head down Swanson st. We arrive back again by 9.30. So come along, hear some great stories from the homeless of Swanson st..
GORAN AND FROSA
On one of Jazzy's trips promoting gift hearts, she met Goran and Frosa, owners of Pizza Train in Newport. Jazzy talked about Wayne and Greg's story. As a result they were moved so much so, that they sold their business, Goran went into partnership with Greg's pizza shop "Big Mates Pizza" and with Frosa's support, have successfully managed Big Mates, which now allows Greg to spend more time on his community aspirations such as Jazzys Gift and Giving is Living
$5.00 PIZZA VOUCHERS (Giving Is Living)
Greg offers the hearts to the homeless, who offer them for a donation. Greg is always looking for ongoing financial support for his efforts. Both Greg and Goran owners of Big Mates Pizza, have agreed to offers deals, where customers purchase a $5.00 pizza voucher and the proceeds are used to buy the Gift hearts. Greg and Goran simply see this as a way to support their community and are totally committed. We invite anyone to come join us, take a walk up swanson st and meet up with the homeless. We usually start at 7 and finish back at Flinders St Station by 9.30 pm.
