Hi, I’m Alicia, and I’m a friend and co-worker of Julie’s. Julie was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago just as the pandemic began and she has fought it like a champ!!!! She has endured a lot of pain, surgeries, chemo, radiation, changes in her body and life, as well as medical expenses. Julie has come to work many, many days when she wasn’t feeling good and has continued teaching kids who really need her during the most stressful years for both educators and our students. Julie also works the football, basketball, and baseball games as well as wrestling matches to supplement her income. She is such a hard worker!!! Throughout it all; Julie has continued being a friend to many, a lifeline to her students, an encouraging coworker, a supportive, loving mom to her two daughters, and a Gigi❤️
For over a year, Julie has also suffered significant hip and knee pain. She is getting a hip replacement on 2-22-22 and will be out of work for a bit. She has used all her sick days which means she will be without pay. After surgery, she will require extensive PT. My hope is to raise enough money to offset some of Julie’s expenses so that she can focus on healing without too much financial strain.
If you are not able to donate to help Julie pay some of her medical bills and cover some of the lost income, please keep her in your prayers! If you are local; a home cooked meal would be appreciated I’m sure. Thank you so much!!!! Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
