Hireup started for my sister Laura and me with our brother Shane. He had cerebral palsy and relied on support in all aspects of his life. Seeing the challenges that Shane faced in trying to find good, consistent support made us want to do something. We had this idea for a website or app that could connect someone like our brother with great support workers in the community. It was amazing how much need there was.
In 2016, when we were setting up Hireup, we’d get in these crappy cars and drive up and down the coast Scott had the biggest smile on his face as we did the pitch, and I remember his enthusiasm from the first minute. We chatted afterwards, and there was a bit of banter.
