Use the official nomination form to share enough context for a respectful review—while protecting the person's dignity, privacy, and safety.
Before you submit
Share practical context, not dramatic language. Include only what is necessary and what you have permission to share.
Who the person is and your connection to them.
Their general location and whether local support matters.
The circumstance they are facing now, stated honestly and clearly.
What practical help may make a meaningful difference.
What you have permission to share now; consent and care must be confirmed before anything becomes public-facing.
A safe, appropriate way Josh's team could follow up if needed.
Privacy and dignity
Do not include unnecessary sensitive identity, financial, medical, login, or other private information. Share only what is needed, use practical language, and do not submit anything you do not have permission to share.
Read Trust & Care guidanceEmergency and crisis warning
If anyone is in immediate danger or needs urgent medical, mental-health, safety, housing, or crisis help, contact local emergency services or an appropriate local crisis resource now. Do not wait for a response to this nomination.
What happens next
A nomination is a starting point. Review and follow-up must protect the person and fit the situation.
Use the official form to share the six useful details above.
Josh's team may review whether the story is clear, safe, and appropriate.
Permission, dignity, and practical next steps must be considered before anything public.
If appropriate, the team may use the safe contact information provided in the form.
Clear expectations
A nomination does not guarantee contact, assistance, financial help, a fundraiser, filming, publication, or a public video. Josh's team may be unable to respond to every submission.
Avoid
The nomination path should help the team understand the story. It should not collect private payment, banking, login, or sensitive identity details.
Do not include bank account numbers, private payment information, Stripe, PayPal, or card information.
Do not include Social Security numbers, EINs, driver's license images, passports, or other sensitive identity documents.
Never submit account passwords, private links, one-time codes, or login information.
Share only what is needed to understand the story, and avoid details the person would not want public.
Be extra careful with minors, family details, schools, addresses, and anything that could affect safety or privacy.
Submitting a story does not guarantee selection, contact, filming, fundraising, or support.

After submitting
Not every submission can receive a response or follow-up. The form is a way to share a story for possible review.
When possible, yes. Permission context helps protect dignity and makes follow-up more respectful.
If someone is in immediate danger or facing an emergency, contact local emergency services or a local crisis resource first.
If there is meaningful new context, submit the most accurate information through the official form or use the contact email for a clear question.
