HELLO, I AM THE BIG BROTHER(JOSEPH RENE ALVAREZ) WITH LISA REYES AND RUBEN ALVAREZ  PARENTS OF JOSHUA ALVAREZ AND WE ARE TRYING TO RAISE MONEY FOR FUNERAL EXPENSES , HEADSTONE, AND BURIAL. IT HAS BEEN A TERRIBLE EVENT THAT CHANGED EVERTHING IN OUR FAMILYS LIVES WHEN I RECEIVED A CALL AT 1:00AM TO ONLY FIND OUT THAT MY LITTLE BABY BROTHER HAD BEEN MURDERED ON THE FRONT YARD OF HIS THREE CHILDRENS MOTHER, MOTHERS HOUSE BY THE STEP DAD, WHO  SHOT HIM THREE TIMES IN THE CHEST IN CLOSE RANGE. KILLING HIM INSTANTLY. LEAVING BEHIND A MOTHER,FATHER, BROTHERS, SISTERS AND THREE CHILDREN (JOSLYNN, JOSHUA JR., JAZELLE). WE ARE IN NEED OF HELP TO GIVE HIM A PROPER FUNERAL HE DESERVES. HE REALLY WAS JUST BEGINING LIFE AT 19 YRS. OLD HE WAS THE MOST KIND HEARTED PERSON YOU KNEW. HE NEVER STARTED TROUBLE THAT CALLED FOR HIS DEATH. IT WAS NOTHING MORE THEN YOUNG PARENTS BEING JUST THAT, 

        HE WAS A GREAT FATHER WHO SUPPORTED HIS FAMILY, PUTTING ALOT OF HIS TIME AND MONEY INTO A HOUSE HE WAS RESTORING FOR HIM AND HIS FAMILY TO CALL THERE OWN. BEING PROUD EVERY TIME A STEP WAS ACHEIVED. JOSH HAD BIG PLANS IN HIS FUTURE THAT INCLUDE BEING THERE FOR HIS KIDS. WE HAD GOALS OF MAKING IT TO THE TOP ONE DAY.  
        AS A BROTHER WHO WANTED NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR HIM AND STRAYED HIM OUT OF TROUBLE. ME AND MY FAMILY WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS TO REACH OUR GOAL BY FRIDAY JULY 15TH.
