The last couple of years Joshua has struggled with his Bipolar depression and anxiety, and it has been a long hard journey for him. He has made some hard life choices because of his mental health, and for those of you who know Josh, the thing he wants most is to be able to help support his four year old son and be productive in life. While navigating his health issues, Josh has had some major road blocks.The reason I am reaching out is Joshua is working to get his life back on track, and has decided to go back to school in the near future to become a teacher. Joshua had a birthday last week and the best present he could receive would be having the funds to take the necessary steps to be able to go back to school. 

The first step Josh has already taken, by beginning a 95 hour Children's Yoga Teacher & Creativity Coaching Training Certification. This not only will give him a way to create income with a flexible schedule, but practicing Yoga also helps him with centering and staying balanced. The other benefit is practical teaching experience teaching children so it will be good for building his resume. The next steps will include taking ACT/SAT prep course as well as refresher courses in Math and Writing. Another thing that will need to be resolved is transportation, so he will need to get an inexpensive car to be able to get from places he will teach and school. 

The cost of his Yoga training is $1500, he will also need teaching materials: toys, musical instruments and yoga mats to do his own classes. Each of the courses he needs for the ACT is $119 each for the the five courses he needs to take and funds to take the ACT and also the SAT. As for the vehicle, if anyone reading this has or knows someone who has a decent car for sale that is in running condition please let me know, we are hoping to find something $1500 or less. 

If you are reading this then someone you know thinks that you would care enough to help Joshua's cause. Any amount given or offer of assistance will be appreciated, and many blessings to all who take the time to read this. Thank you!!
