Story
Dear Friends,
We gather here today to honour the precious life of our Joshua, a beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend who brought endless joy and love to all those around him. It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of Joshua's untimely passing at the tender age of 12. His infectious laughter, kind heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know him.
In the midst of this profound loss, we stand together to extend our support to Joshua's parents, who now face the unimaginable pain of saying goodbye to their beloved son. In addition to the emotional burden they bear, they also confront the daunting task of arranging a proper farewell for their precious son, Joshua.
We recognise that while no amount of support can fully heal their hearts, we can come together as a community to provide some relief in their time of need. With that in mind, we have launched this JustGiving campaign in loving memory of Joshua. Our goal is to alleviate the financial strain on his parents during this difficult period.
Your generous contributions will directly assist Joshua's parents in covering the expenses associated with funeral arrangements and offer them the support necessary as they take time off from work to mourn their devastating loss. We believe that no donation is too small, as every act of kindness will have a profound impact on easing their burden.
We would like to express our deepest appreciation to each and every one of you who has reached out with kind words, prayers, and unwavering support. Your love and solidarity have brought a glimmer of light during this darkest hour, and we are eternally grateful for your presence in our lives.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Joshua's family.
