Josiah Johnson is the son of my best friend, Marne. From the moment I met Josiah months ago, his loud, amazing energy and personality immediately took over a spot in my life. Even though Josiah was already diagnosed with heart failure before we met, I quickly became attached to him. His fire and spirit, and the fact that he’s the same age as my own son, made it impossible not to love him.

This morning Josiah passed away. November 16th 2025 near 7:30 am in hospice care he was found to be deceased. Its been one of the hardest days for so many of us who love him but to see my best friends heart breaking n not being able to say or do anything to relieve her of tht pain was horrible for me. This is my way of doing whatever I can to ease some of tht for her n those who love him. please, even a dollar will help get us to the goal of getting his cremation n services paid for. as a mother myself the thought of someone's child,someone who was so young being dealt such an unfair deal not being able to have him transported n cremated n services done at short notice is nothing a parent should have to be feeling right now. please help get Josiah's remains where they need to go?? help me ease a mother's worried heart during this traumatic n heartbreaking time? ur donations ,ur paying it forward ,will return to u someday,I know in my heart tht is true. I believe there is still kind hearted people in this world. I believe in random acts of kindness tht will cause change. let's come together n prove this by helping other's during difficult times. again thank u for ur time n ur donations nd may ur higher power bless u with great things for ur kindness.
