For Annie and Dylan

Over the weekend, Julie passed away after a years-long, courageous fight against breast cancer. Julie was a beloved mother whose whole world centered on her two children, Annie and Dylan. Through every stage of her illness, Julie showed incredible strength, grace, and unwavering devotion to them. Now, Annie and Dylan are facing the heartbreaking reality of life without their mother. Annie is an 18-year-old freshman at Patrick and Henry Community College, and Dylan is a 17-year-old junior at Magna Vista High School. Along with the deep grief of this loss comes the weight of unexpected financial challenges and uncertainty about the road ahead.

This fundraiser has been organized by a family friend to help support Julie Metz's children during this painful transition. Donations will help ease both immediate and long-term financial burdens, including daily needs, stability, and education, so Annie and Dylan can have the care and support they need in the months ahead. Friends and family are coming together to surround them with love as they honor their mother’s memory. If you are able to give, any contribution will make a meaningful difference. Please also consider sharing this fundraiser and keeping Annie and Dylan in your thoughts and prayers.
