<div><strong>We are gathering funds and volunteers to help bring Joe Young back to Country and building him a Cob home.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This fundraiser is put together by myself, Isabella, to raise money for Joe Young. The funds will go to both Joe Youngs family and the team who are building him his cob home. Spearheaded by David Mitsak and his daughter Sienna. David has a history of cob building and his own way of building by bringing community together to build with song and dance at the centre of the building project.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By bringing Joe back to Country, we are contributing to protecting sacred waters, restoring community, and preserving ancient lore for future generations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><em>Joe Young has given permission for the Primal Divine and Isabella Gillespie to build and launch this project. </em>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Joe is one of the last living Indigenous lore men who walked out of the desert on foot. His return to Turkey Bore on Pintupi Country represents not only a homecoming — but the preservation of one of the most ancient living cultures and wisdom traditions on Earth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What the Funds Will Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The intention of this GoFundMe is to bring this vision to life in several stages.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Stage One: Laying the Foundation</strong>
</div>
<div>We are raising funds to establish the foundation for Joe’s home, built from natural materials to house him and eight family's living together on Country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This first stage focuses on:
</div>
<div>Bringing out David and his natural building team from Sydney to meet with Joe and his family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hosting a natural building camp to begin constructing a camp stove and model home.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Collaborating with the family to co-create their vision, ensuring cultural alignment and self-determination.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are aiming for This stage to take place in November 2025.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Stage Two: Building the Home</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The second stage will see the full team return to complete the natural home build and strengthen the foundations of community life on Country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This phase includes:
</div>
<div>Building Joe’s home using sustainable, locally sourced materials.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Teaching natural building skills to the local mob including children.
</div>
<div>Weaving in ceremony, song, and dance and listening to country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This project is not just about building a home — it’s about reviving traditional ways of living with the land.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will also be welcoming volunteers who feel called to be part of this sacred work next Autumn 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>There will be two roles:
</div>
<div>The Build Team: builders and hands-on learners guided by David’s natural building methods.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Nurturer Team: those providing meals, care, and support for elders and children, helping hold the community field
</div>
<div>Media Team : the intention to film the project so that we can launch more natural builds on country.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you feel called to volunteer please fill out this application form and we will be in touch ASAP.
</div>

</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>David’s approach to natural building is deeply community-centered, incorporating creativity, song, and cultural respect. The intention is for this home to become a model for future builds, empowering more families to return to and protect their land.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Stage Two (Autumn 2026) where your funds will go.</strong>
</div>
<div><strong>Transport and logistics for the team</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Nourishment and care for volunteers
</div>
<div>-Camping gear and community supplies
</div>
<div>-On-country support for elders and families
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here is a link to the full breakdown of where the funds will go.
</div>
<div><a href="https://www.canva.com/design/DAG2TB5U4Pk/buutpDEGtzFFm8qNWEoGQw/edit?utm_content=DAG2TB5U4Pk&amp;utm_campaign=designshare&amp;utm_medium=link2&amp;utm_source=sharebutton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BUDGET BREAKDOWN</a>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This project is a bridge between worlds — blending ancient Indigenous wisdom with sustainable, earth-based living.
</div>
<div>By supporting Joe’s Home Station, you’re helping:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Bring an Elder and Senior Lore Man home to Country
</div>
<div>-Preserve ancient teachings and sacred knowledge
</div>
<div>-Protect the land and waters for future generations
</div>
<div>-Support Indigenous families to live on and care for their ancestral land
</div>
<div>-Create a living example of community-based, sustainable building in Australia
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By bringing Joe and his family home, tribal lore is reactivated — and with that comes a powerful, lawful protection. Under traditional lore, the presence of a recognised lore man prevents outside forces from entering or taking from the land.
</div>
<div>This is why getting Joe back home now is crucial. His return re-establishes cultural sovereignty, ensures the land is cared for, and keeps the waters protected for future generations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution — no matter the size — helps bring this vision to life.
</div>
<div>If you cannot contribute financially, please consider sharing this page to help spread the word.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Together, we can get Joe home, protect the waters, and honour the old ways.</strong>
</div>
