Funds for Julia's Reed's Care
Donation protected
As many of you know Julia Reed, wife of Justin and Momma to Trevor and Faith, is a strong fighter and is in need of our help. In October of 2013, Julia was diagnosed with Atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT) which is a rare and fast-growing cancerous tumor of the brain and spinal cord. At this time, Julia was pregnant with her precious little Faith. Many doctors told her to terminate her pregnancy and begin receiving treatment for her cancer, but Julia is a fighter and chose to give Faith life. While she was still pregnant, in November of 2013, Julia underwent surgery to remove her tumor. A few months later, on March 7, 2014, sweet little Faith entered this world and Julia continued to fight. Julia will forever be Faith's hero by this selfless act! In August of 2014, Julia finished her treatment and began receiving good news of clean MRI's of her brain and spinal cord. Sadly, this wasn't the case in 2017. Julia went in for a routine MRI in October and the tumor was back on her brain. One month later, Julia underwent her second and very long surgery to remove the tumor. The surgery was successful and Julia once again fought hard enduring many rounds of chemo and radiation. At home, Justin was doing an incredible job maintaining as much normalcy for Trevor and Faith all while continuing to work full-time. But as you are aware, this past year has been especially difficult for them as they were not able to be all together under one roof. Julia was receiving treatments and needed full-time care. The most recent news that the Reed family received was that Julia's cancer has spread into her spinal cord and throughout her brain. She needs to be home with her family. In order to do this, Justin has to hire care for Julia. As you can imagine, this type of care is very expensive, but I think you would all agree, it is time to get this incredible superhero home with her family!
