In Support of Josiah

Josiah
Dear family and friends.
I am reaching out to ask for your support in helping Josiah. His soon-to-be adoptive mom Rosie was tragically murdered by a tenant while she was working at an apartment leasing office in Houston.  Prior to living with Rosie, Josiah was attacked by two dogs while in the care of his biological parents. He will need surgery to repair his ears. Thankfully Rosie's sister Elda has committed to care for both Josiah and his foster grandmother Elia and will soon move them from Houston to her home in Austin.  

Josiah is a wonderfully sweet boy. He is remarkably intelligent and resilient. The world can be a cruel place and while it is impossible to understand this senseless tragedy, helping one another can give us some much needed hope for humanity. Josiah needs a village right now.  He has experienced three major tragedies.  First losing his ears, second losing his biological parents, and then losing Rosie. 

Your support can make a positive difference in Josiah's life.
