My Interests

Joshua Edmondson is only 5 years old, and he is very ill, going on 3 yrs of not knowing what is wrong and new things keep popping up. When he was 2 1/2 years old his doctors discovered that he has an auto-immune disease and his body is attacking itself, but the doctors are not sure why. Since that time Joshua has lost over 80% of the hair on his head and all of the hair on his body. He has tumors inside each of his femur bones. His treatments are VERY expensive. We have learned that Joshua has a rare bone disease. His left leg is slower in growing and is shorter then the right because one of the tumors is on the growth plate, which cause other issues like his spine curving to the right, and he has been getting headaches too. Joshua welcomes your friendship, he is a strong happy kid.
