Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

Our son, Ju’Lius Byers aka JuJu, is a dedicated and passionate 14-year-old freshman at Liberty High School. He has a history of being a multi sport athlete who has participated in Basketball, Track & Field and his favorite of all, Football. Ju'Luis dreamed of playing Football all four years of highschool and after taking a field trip to visit Missouri Western he had his mind set on furthering his education at the University of Missouri Western College to play football.

On September 3rd, during his very first high school football game against Lee Summit, Ju’Lius' life changed in an instant. He suffered a devastating spinal injury that left him partially paralyzed—turning what should have been an exciting milestone into every parent’s worst nightmare.

Since then, Ju’Lius has undergone two emergency surgeries at Children’s Mercy Kansas City. Thanks to the incredible care of his medical team and his own fierce determination, he is now beginning the long road of recovery. This journey will include extended hospital stays, intensive rehabilitation, and ongoing therapy.

Through it all, Ju’Lius continues to show remarkable strength and courage. He approaches each day with the same determination he once brought to football on and off the field, fighting to regain as much independence and mobility as possible. We couldn’t be prouder of his resilience.

As his family, we are doing everything we can to support him, but the financial burden of medical expenses, travel, home modifications, and the specialized care Ju’Lius will need has become overwhelming. That’s why we are reaching out for your love, prayers, and support. This accident changed our lives forever, but with God, he will make a way!

We’ve created this GoFundMe to help ease the financial strain and give Ju’Lius the best chance at recovery. Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward his medical care and future needs. Your generosity will not only support Ju’Lius' healing—it will remind him that he has an entire community behind him, cheering him on.

With faith, love, continuous prayers, and the strength of his village, we believe Ju’Lius will continue to fight and heal. Thank you for standing with us. Please keep Ju’Lius in your prayers and share this page to help spread his story.

With gratitude,

William Byers IV
