Support Julia's Battle Against Colon Cancer

Donation protected
Hello friends and family,

We need your help and prayers now more than ever. I want to first introduce Steven and Julia. They have been together since February of 2009 and they finally tied the knot in August of 2019. They had their miracle baby in May of 2024. Julia was a trooper through her pregnancy and delivery despite her body fighting a much larger fight that nobody was aware of.

In December of 2024, Julia was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer.

Julia is a stay-at-home mom while Steven works to support the family. Their baby is 8 months old and loves his momma. Julia was told to immediately stop nursing her baby, which was not easy. She can't be around her baby boy after her chemo treatment; she can't hold him or take care of him. Fortunately, they are all loved beyond measure and have a big support system to help them with the baby during these times.

However, unfortunately, despite having insurance, it doesn't cover all of her chemo treatments. Each treatment is $633 out of pocket. Right now, Julia is getting chemo once every two weeks, and then she will begin radiation in hopes of shrinking the tumor enough that they can do surgery to remove it. The three of them need our prayers now. This is a very prideful family and this is incredibly hard for me to even put this out to the world, but we are desperate to help.

Any prayer, any penny, will mean the world to all of us.
