***UPDATE***

First of all, I would like to personally thank everyone who has donated, shared and helped out in any way on behalf of my sister, brother-in-law, nephew and niece. As some of you may know, Natalee was able to come home this past week while waiting for the pathology results. Yesterday, Kim & Josh met with Natalee's Oncologist, and they were informed that the lab test confirmed that the tumor is a Wilms Tumor, stage 3 cancer. As a result, Natalee will begin chemo on Monday, and she will continue to receive the chemo once a week for 6 weeks. Upon completion of this round of chemo, the doctors will do a CT scan of her kidney to see if the tumor has shrunk enough for them to remove her kidney. Once they remove the kidney, Natalee will still have to go to Jacksonville for 2 weeks for radiation treatment to ensure that all the cancer cells are destroyed. So with that being said, we ask that everyone please continue to share Natalee's gofundme page, donate if you can, and as always, please continue to pray for this sweet little girl and her family.

Hi, My name is Julie. My 7 yr old niece Natalee has been diagnosed with a 12 cm by 11 cm Wilms' tumor on her left kidney. The doctors are preparing to remove it on September 1st at Sacred Heart's Studer Family Children's Hospital in Pensacola, Florida.

My sister and brother-in-law are holding it together the best they can, as every day has been tough for them.

Just a little over a month ago my brother-in-law Josh had a stroke and has been out of work ever since. As the bills have been building up from that, they are now faced with the one thing a parent never wishes to experience, a sick child. My sister Kim is also dealing with her daily battle with MS. This family has been challenged constantly over the last year and has managed to hold it together for their children.

We all face challenges in our lifetime and sometimes, we need the help of the community we live in. Our families, our church and our friends, we ask that you share this to everyone you can, as this family needs your support to help them through this trial of life.

We ask you for your prayers and any help that you can provide for this family.

Please keep Josh, Kimberly, Nolan and Natalee in your prayers.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.
