Our Mission
Brother and Sister Forever.
Our mission has changed for Josh’s Squad House (JSH). Our grief took us away from Yardley, PA and landed us in Lakewood Ranch, FL and Long Beach Island, NJ as we continue to navigate our life without Josh. Kate has found a life of work and joy in Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love.
We initially wanted to create a nurturing place where Bucks County Children could visit and feel free and comfortable expressing their own individuality without judgment or exclusion. We are now planning to make charitable donations to organizations which focus on self empowerment, acceptance and coping mechanisms to help marginalized youth reconcile their own individual strengths and weaknesses. We also plan to establish a annual Scholarship in Josh’s name in both the music and art programs offered at Temple University. We hope to continue to find avenues which help children in crisis finding ways which help foster an environment where children can celebrate and accept their uniqueness, can be supported emotionally and have an outlet to discuss their life struggles, hopes and dreams.
Our Story
The vision of Josh’s Squad House was developed following the tragic loss of our beautiful and talented fourteen year old son, brother, cousin and friend. Josh had a special gift in that he was able to surround himself around friends without judgement or expectation. He truly loved everyone and was able to share that love willingly and abundantly.
