The Austin community held a benefit Saturday to help with the high costs of one special little boy's medical bills.
The Joshua Jam Benefit Concert and Silent Auction was held Saturday at Dave & Buster's.
Joshua Edmondson is an excited little boy who enjoys being a 4-year-old. Playing the drums and arcade games are just some of the things he loves.
But Joshua is more than your everyday child. He's one in a million, literally: Joshua has a rare bone disease that affects one in a million kids.
"He's just strong, very strong," Joshua's mother, Michelle Edmondson, said. "He knows if we go to the hospital he's going to get shots and he says, 'Well, it makes me sad that I'm going to get shots, but I know I'm going to get better.' He's strong."
Joshua must get treatment from a specialist not covered by his insurance.
All of the proceeds of Saturday's benefit will go to Joshua and his family for his care and expenses.
