Raised by a loving, single, Christian mom, Joseph Santistevan knew the sacrifices his mother made to raise her children. Joseph had food and shelter, was a good student and grew up with Jesus in his heart. His senior year of high school, his precious mother was diagnosed with cancer and passed away within the year. While his siblings had their father to connect with, Joseph’s father was not in his life. He was alone, and in a world that his mother had so strongly protected him from.
