hit92.9 social worker listener to live for free in 2019

Heidi, Xavier & Ryan listener, Rhys, has had all of his Christmas’ come at once, winning a mortgage-free 2019 thanks to hit92.9’s Live For Free, with Blueprint Homes.
 
A social worker for Uniting Care West, Rhys spends his days supporting people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, helping them transition back into independent living.
 
Describing the moment he realised a huge financial weight has been lifted, Rhys said he went into shock. “My body went a bit numb in the beginning and it took me a few seconds to realise it was me. It’s life changing for me. Having a mortgage on my own and waiting for the next pay check to pay my bills, I don’t have to do that in 2019.”
 
Now that he doesn’t need to worry about mortgage repayments for his Scarborough home, Rhys is planning to travel with his rugby team, the Perth Rams, to represent his state in Canada.
 
Rhys says “The Perth Rams are WA’s only inclusive gay rugby team. Next year, we’re looking to go to the Bingham World Cup and represent WA in the gay world cup.”
