Josh - the button guy

Being a relatively shy person, Josh, originally planned to simply aid  the sisters in their work by helping transport them around and watch  their supplies until they had enough people to watch out after  themselves.. He learned that some houses had Guards that simply stood in  the back and looked after the sisters so he decided he could do that so  he signed up ... it was not long until Josh saw the huge need in the  local community for people to like themselves so Josh decided he wanted  to dedicate himself to sister work to spreading the message of “self  love” You gotta love yourself first! The sisters immediately jumped into  supporting the message of self love and it has become a theme within  The Emerald City Sisters house that is so positive it makes his heart  grow.  
The name, Josh -the button guy,  came about as Josh started with one button machine and made 5 designs. This turned into 4 machines and over 200 designs. Now, there and organizations and Sister houses across the country that request buttons form our "button guy". So, making it a name Josh -the button guy, seemed just perfect.  
If Josh had to pick some favorite aspects of being a guard, would be, "The  effect we have on people when we are around them." It’s the look on  people’s faces when they see him, the tears he gets to see when telling  people they matter, the smiles on people’s faces when he hand them a  condom rose or a self love button.  
Future plans for Josh's  ministry include continuing the advocacy for safe practices, including  masks (Josh learned how to sew just to give people free masks #proud). Neil  would like his crafting abilities to expand to offer to the community  custom clothing and decals so that they can express pride in their  individuality, without having to break the bank.
