Help Josh Recover After Major Heart Surgery

Our friend Joshua Maxwell has spent his life giving back to the community. He's worked tirelessly to create opportunities for young people all across the Central Coast and beyond. He’s helped countless young creatives find their voices, build confidence, and tell their stories in ways that have changed lives. He and his family have created safe spaces and support structures for so many people.

Now, he needs our help.

Yesterday, he underwent his third open-heart surgery—a major, life-saving procedure. While the surgery was successful, it wasn't without its challenges and his recovery will be long and difficult. He won’t be able to work for at least six months and he’s facing an uphill battle to stay afloat financially while focusing on healing.

Joshua has spent years lifting up others, offering support, and being a driving force for good in the community. This GoFundMe is our chance to give back to him. The funds raised will go directly towards his living expenses, medical bills, and anything else he needs during his recovery.

If you’ve ever been lucky enough to work with Josh, see his work, or even just share a conversation with him, you’ll know the incredible heart he puts into everything he does. Now, we’re asking you to help take care of that heart while he gets back on his feet.

Any contribution—big or small—will make a difference. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign with others who know and love Josh or have been touched by his work.

Thank you for helping us show Josh the same love and support he’s given to so many. Let’s make sure he can focus on what matters most right now: getting better.
