Joshua Barras is a 37 year old Lafayette man who suffers from a brain injury. He was days away from his divorce being finalized when his injury occurred. His wife stands to gain a large sum of money if he dies and is fighting to try and starve him to death. She is making no attempt to get him any treatment even though she has done at least a dozen fundraisers and collected thousands of dollars in donations for his treatments. There is a court hearing scheduled for January at which time his mother is requesting guardianship be transferred to her so she can make the decisions in the best interest of Josh and get him therapy and treatment for his injury. Please sign the petition support Josh Barras.

I didn’t make it all the way through that video, but if it’s true that the feeding tube is the only thing keeping him alive, I sort of side with her. That’s no way to live

What kind of life is he going to have going forward? He's a vegetable right? Let that dude die like he wanted.

A feeding tube is not keeping him alive. His body is alive the same way yours and mine is. The only difference is he receives food a different way. Josh is improving and he has not yet had therapy or treatment. He deserves the chance to recover. Nobody should be able to take that from him

No Josh is not in a vegetative state. He is minimally conscious and improves more and more each day. He spoke his first word 2 months ago and tries so hard to speak every time he is with his mom. His wife will not get him speech therapy. They would teach him how to talk and they would also get him a communication device that he can use his eyes to communicate with. The only reason he hasn't made more of a recovery is because his estranged wife has hindered it by not allowing him to have treatment. This treatment was already paid for with donations. Over $15k but instead of him getting treatment she spent all the money on herself and went on vacation with her new gf

If he's been alive this long then why not just give him the treatment in question? Especially if it's already paid for? Regardless how one may feel about his current state of living and what is right or wrong. He's still around right? Even if you don't agree it will help him then why not just try it?

Did the injury occur because of the hanging?

So he was in jail and hung himself with a shoestring causing brain injury? Why was he in jail and why did he try to kill himself?

Yes. He had just been arrested and was under the influence in booking at the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center and attempted to hang himself with a shoe lace

Can Chicken just permanently anchor this thread and OP already?

Yes he was in booking. According to several news sources that verified court and police records, they said he was in there for illegal possession of the prescription drug Xanax. His estranged wife said it was her prescription that he had picked up. His reason for doing it? His estranged wife could probably answer that since she was the last one to talk to him & he told her what he was about to do.

Why are you lying? I saw his mother on Dr. Phil. She said she had him arrested for stealing her car.
