Joshua's Journey to Recovery.

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

After a long and difficult journey, I am finally receiving the liver transplant that will give me a second chance at life. This miracle wouldn’t be possible without the incredible people who stood by me every step of the way.

I am truly blessed to have such incredible people in my life. While I am beyond thankful for this gift of life, the road to recovery is long. Medical expenses, ongoing treatments, and months of being unable to work have created a financial burden that is overwhelming for my family and me. In addition to medical expenses, I will require two 24-hour caregivers for several months, meaning my mother and sister, among others, will need to take time off from work to care for me. This adds another significant financial challenge for my family, making your support even more meaningful during this time. We need help to ensure I can focus on healing without the added stress of financial hardship.

Your support—whether through a donation, sharing this fundraiser, or offering words of encouragement—means more than I can ever express. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to recovery and allows me to embrace this second chance with hope and gratitude.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of my journey. Your kindness and generosity give me strength, and I hope to one day pay it forward.

With endless gratitude,

Joshua S Shordon

In addition:

To Winter, whose selfless act of humanity is giving me the opportunity to heal—you are my hero. Not only are you my donor but we have also become very close and genuine friends. Your kindness, courage, and generosity have changed my life in more ways than I can express, and I will forever be grateful for you.

To Nicole, who helped me reach out to thousands of people to find my donor—you are truly a remarkable person, and you will always hold a special place in my heart. Your dedication gave me hope when I needed it most, and I will never forget the impact you’ve had on my life.

And to my family, friends, and everyone who supported me through this journey—whether through prayers, encouragement, or simply being there—I wouldn’t have made it this far without you.

Thank You. ❤️
