Joshua Weinel “YoshiGish”

“If you are struggling with work, housing, or LIVING: reach out to Grace Connection Services! This place doesn’t just
offer services – they offer hope, in the form of real, compassionate people who care deeply about your healing and
path to full rehabilitation from trauma and disasters.
I can’t say enough good things about Heather and the team at Grace Connection Services. No, I can’t, the hours on
the phone discussing my life and goals would fill up a book. This isn’t just a place that helps you survive – it’s a that
helps you rebuild yourself back up. With Heather’s guidance, I’ve been able to secure housing, polish up my resume,
and start envisioning a future that I want to live in surrounding myself with music and art.
What stands out the most is how their personal support feels. Heather genuinely shows up, in person or late-night
phone calls, or late-night calls dealing with a crisis – with her whole heart and helps you put the pieces back together,
one step at a time.
The biggest sign that things are changing for me? I’m listening to original music again. For a long time, debts and
stress built up depression, which stole that freedom from me. I had no drive because other than “home” I felt there
was nowhere else to go.
Music used to be a major part of my life, and when I stopped feeling enjoyment form the things in like that should
matter; I stopped hearing it, I sped giving it, I stopped receiving gifts from the universe, I stopped living. But thanks to
Grace Connection Services, the music is coming back – and whit it, a part of me that I thought I’d lost out here. With
their helps, I’ll be back on that road tour with a new album, soon!!”
