Our hearts are deeply broken as we mourn the loss of Joseph Messiah Howze, a precious six-month-old baby who touched so many lives in such a short time. Joseph spent his first six months in Columbia Hospital, fighting bravely through underlying health conditions. After finally coming home for just two days, he gained his wings and went home to be with the Lord.

We are asking for your support to help his parents, Drako and ShaQuetta Howze, with funeral and burial expenses as they prepare to lay their baby boy to rest. The Howze family has shown incredible strength and love throughout Joseph’s journey, and your support will help ease the financial burden during this unimaginable time. Every prayer, donation, and share means the world to them as they navigate this loss.

Thank you for keeping Joseph’s family in your thoughts and prayers. May his memory forever be a light of love and faith.️

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
