Josiah Anthony Villarreal

Josiah Anthony Villarreal, who is only 6 years old and in kindergarten has suffered a critical gunshot injury to the head due to a drive by shooting which has caused significant damage to his brain.  Josiah is a happy little boy who loves his 3 year old little sister, Spider Man and Ryan’s Toy’s Review.  He loves dancing, laughing and being silly but is now unable to enjoy any of these things due to this senseless act of violence.  He is fighting for his little life and has a long battle ahead of him.  We are in desperate need of prayers for a full recovery as we leave his precious little life in the Lord’s hands.

Meanwhile, Josiah’s mother is a single mother of two children who understandable needs to be at her son’s side throughout this terrible ordeal.  She will however, have to take a leave of absence from her current employment in order to do so, and will have an insurmountable amount of medical bills as well as living expenses to take on while her baby boy remains in the hospital.   A mother should never have to experience such a terrible nightmare while carrying the financial burden alone. We appreciate the concern and compassion during this difficult time and thank you in advance for your heartfelt contributions aiding in Josiah’s recovery

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
