My name is Azie, and I’m raising funds for my friend Joshua “Josh” Bell, someone who has spent his life giving to others. On August 3rd, 2025, at about 1:00 PM, Josh’s life changed in an instant when he was in a serious motorcycle accident. He was left with severe wounds that require skin grafts, a serious concussion, and a dark spot on his CAT scan that doctors are still investigating. He now faces more surgeries, months of recovery, and the challenge of getting by with no income during this time.
Josh is the kind of person who always sees the best in people. He has kind words for everyone and can light up a room just by being there. He calls and checks in on his friends, makes sure they’re okay, and never speaks badly about anyone. His home has always been a gathering place where friends meet for bike rides, cookouts, and game nights. During the winter, his TikTok is full of Friday and Saturday game nights with everyone laughing, playing, and enjoying each other’s company. He works to keep animosity down and bring people together.
Cooking, especially barbecuing outside, is one of Josh’s favorite ways to connect with people. He has a lifelong passion for working with youth in tumbling, something he’s been involved in for his entire life. He’s worked with kids of all ages, from beginners learning the basics to older athletes honing their skills. Even while working part time, he made mentoring and encouraging young people a priority, helping them build confidence and discipline that lasts beyond the sport.
Josh is also the kind of person who opens his home when someone needs a place to stay. When his friend Dan needed somewhere to be, Josh welcomed him without hesitation. When his brother and his girlfriend came from Florida, he made sure they felt right at home. That’s just who Josh is, generous, welcoming, and always ready to make people feel like they belong.
Now he’s the one who needs help. With no sick leave and medical bills already stacking up, your support will make a real difference.
Your donation will help cover:
$25 – A tank of gas to get to the hospital
$50 – A week of groceries
$100 – One day of physical therapy
$250 – A portion of surgery costs
Rent, utilities, and living expenses while he recovers
Josh’s next surgery is coming soon, and every bit of help right now will give him the chance to focus on healing instead of worrying about how to keep the lights on.
“I’ve always tried to be there for others. Right now, I’m humbled and grateful for anyone who can be there for me. Thank you for helping me through this.” Josh Bell
Every donation, big or small, makes a difference. Please donate if you can, share Josh’s story, and be part of his comeback. With your help, Josh can get back to doing what he loves, mentoring kids, hosting cookouts, and filling his home with laughter.
