Josh, our little fighter, our little hero...

Hi everyone,

On the afternoon of Wednesday 11th October, Josh caught the bus home from school like any other day, however this day changed his life forever. He stepped off the bus, excited to get home and see his dog Xena, went to cross the road and unfortunately didn't see the oncoming truck in which he collided with. Rushed over to Westmead Children's Hospital, where Josh has spent the last week fighting his beautiful little heart out to beat the horrific injuries he sustained. He has fought and fought with all the power and energy he could, unfortunately the injuries were so severe that God decided to take him home.

The fight he put up was something to be in awe of, he did this so he was able to donate his organs to enable other kids and adults to continue living their life. Josh's love and kindness will live on in others, in the most positive and most giving way a young hero like Josh can.

Josh is a beautiful kid, who lived life to the fullest. A character, a crazy crazy laugh a minute. Anyone who not only knew him, but was lucky enough to have him in their life, it was an honour.

Josh would be absolutely loving the love he was receiving right now, and so with his family's permission, I am starting a Go Fund Me page. All monies will be used accordingly for the funeral and other costs. Any monies left over will be given to charity.

The family would like to express their gratitude on the heart felt support they have received.

May your beautiful little strong soul rest in peace Joshua Pike. You are very loved and will be missed more than you could possibly imagine.
