Most of us, if not all of us cannot imagine life without our loved ones. We expect to see them when we visit, and if they are younger we expect to watch them grow. But how do we cope with losing someone so unexpectedly? The only answer to that is time. Josue was a beloved son, brother, uncle and friend that touched the lives of many during his short eighteen years. Today, we are determined to keep Josue’s name alive through this foundation. The J.A.R. foundation was started to bring awareness to teenagers of the dangers of speeding and drunk driving. While doing this we plan to raise money to offer a student athlete a scholarship in Josue’ name, to fulfill a dream he had, which was to go to college.

After a regular outing, On August 9, 2014 Romero was involved in a fatal car accident with his childhood friend. Going over 100 miles per hour, the driver lost control and struck a tree. Romero lost his life instantly and his friend was left in critical condition. These accidents happen again and again, and for this reason we find it important to bring light to this topic. Just like part of growing up is meeting new people, and having new adventures; we also want to inform teenagers that part of growing up comes with responsibility and making good choices, not just for them but for their loved ones who have to live with that loss.

Our first project is the scholarship. As our foundation grows, we plan to make more fundraisers and events to spread awareness to teenagers, your children, against drunk driving. With your help you can make this happen. We will be raffling off Beats Pill XL. All proceeds will go towards The Josue Andres Romero Memorial Scholarship.

Raffle tickets are on sale for $5 each or 5 tickets for $20. Drawing for raffle will be held on March 17, 2015
