Dear Joshua’s House Supporters,
As we look toward the opening of Joshua’s House in just a few months, I want to take a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come and to express my gratitude for the unwavering support you’ve given us over the years. Your commitment to our mission has been instrumental in turning what once seemed like an impossible dream into a soon-to-be reality.
This year, we’ve achieved two significant milestones that are helping us move forward with confidence. Anthem Blue Cross’ generous $400,000 grant is enabling us to complete essential preparations, from furnishing rooms to landscaping the grounds, ensuring that Joshua’s House will be a warm, welcoming space for the terminally ill homeless in our community. Additionally, the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors’ approval of more than $1 million to help complete construction has brought us closer than ever to opening our doors.
These partnerships, alongside the dedication of supporters like you, mean that Joshua’s House will soon be a sanctuary of dignity, compassion, and care for our sickest and most vulnerable neighbors. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for sticking with us on this journey.
As we approach the finish line, your continued encouragement inspires us to press forward with renewed energy. I look forward to celebrating our opening with you next spring. Together, we are making a profound difference in the lives of those who need it most.
With gratitude,
Marlene M. Fitzwater
Founder, Joshua’s House Volunteer Hospice
