Walk through the doors of what will be the first hospice house on the West Coast for people experiencing homelessness. Joshua’s House will open in 2019, providing a home and safe haven for people dying on the streets of Sacramento. Marlene von Friederichs-Fitzwater shares her story of devastating loss and transformational love.
Pancreatic cancer took Jamie Murphy’s life on Aug. 14, 2018. But not without a leaving behind a legacy of empathy — that the most vulnerable should die with dignity and respect. Murphy was a passionate advocate for Joshua’s House, which is slated to become the first homeless hospice center in the West Coast and one of only a handful in the country.
On April 12, 2018, the City Planning Commission unanimously approved the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to convert an empty warehouse at 1501 North C Street to Joshua’s House.
