Joshua

Joshua was a 14 year old young man who was diagnosed with a soft tissue tumor, Ewing's sarcoma of the gluteal muscle, in August 2019. Soon after the start of treatment, it was found to have spread to his brain and lungs. Joshua became an angel on January 29, 2020. Josh lived with his parents Eduardo and Brenda, his two older sisters, his older brother and his twin brother. Joshua’s father has a large family in the area and his mother's family is mostly in Honduras. Joshua was attending a local middle school and loved football. His father is the only one that drives and since diagnosis, he has missed many days at work as a gardener. Joshua’s mother is the primary caregiver and also was unable to work. Joshua passed away at UCLA with his family at bedside. Joshua is forever with us.
