Josh’s Heart, Inc
In Memory of Joshua Brent Moore
We created Josh’s Heart, – in memory of our son, Joshua Brent Moore, who died August 12, 2016, at just 32 years old, from complications caused by alcoholism. We are a small non-profit organization in the Sacramento, California, area, and our goal is to bring hope, love, and help to those afflicted by addiction and homelessness and to let them know they matter.
Although Josh suffered from alcoholism and homelessness throughout his life, it is not what defined him. He was a kind hearted, loving, and tremendously giving human being. He had friends and family like you and me. While others saw a homeless person asking for money on the street, others saw a brother and son who loved deeply. While most would see a person in and out of rehabilitation, others saw a friend who would give what little he had to help them out. While some saw a disheveled man with dirty fingernails, his mother saw her hurting baby boy. Like many others in our homeless/addicted communities, his situation often left him feeling insignificant, depressed and unlovable. We created Josh’s Heart to reach out to people who feel lost and forgotten the people who feel cast aside and feel worthless because of their current circumstances. We strive to show them the TRUTH–That THEY ARE MORE THAN THEIR CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES. They matter, are loved, and were placed on this earth by God, with purpose.
Our organization plans on fulfilling this by organizing continual events and drives that will help the homeless and addicted communities.
Josh’s Heart is a reflection of the huge heart that Josh Moore had. Through Josh’s Heart Inc, his heart can keep on beating.
