I am wanting to raise $2500 to get a Memorial Park Bench in the Dunedin Public Gardens as he was found dead on 4th November 2012, but also want to raise extra $1000 to do donate to a charity for example sallie army or the Auckland City Mission where Josh was helped by many people when he lived in Auckland.

That is a link to the article done by the odt a couple of days after he died.
I am his best mate and josh was a vauled member of Dunedin and we want a park bench for him so people can go talk to him and remember the days they had with him.

These 2 links are to stories regarding joshua and when he was found dead etc. please read!!
Its also to raise awarness of the problems around the addiction to Solvents eg Butane and how easy is it to get at supermarkets, shops etc. It costs around $2500 for a park bench and plague to go wth his name and to remember the great times we had with josh.
Josh was the greatest guy you could meet, always had a huge smile on his face, i let Josh live with us while he went threw some of his addictions, Josh and I were both addicted to the herbal highs. My family went threw quite a bit of hard stuff while Josh was with us. I had to ask Josh to leave us as he was getting back on to the huffing and I had 4 young children that I had to protect from that. Josh was a barista (coffee maker pro), I just want to raise the funds to get Josh his bench as he loved to live on the street and loved his park bench's. He was part of my family, we meet at mojo coffee dunedin when I started working as a chef there, and he was a barista,he is my 3rd sons god father and we have photos of him all over our walls and all our boys know that's uncle josh. They love and miss him like we all do, he will never be forgotten and will ever be in our hearts and thoughts.
