Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I am reaching out with a heavy heart to ask for your support for our dear friend, Julie Mattes, who is bravely battling stage 4 metastatic brain cancer. Despite undergoing radiation, the treatment has not been effective, and she is now transitioning to hospice care so she can spend her remaining time in a comfortable and loving environment at home with her loving fiancé, Matt.

As anyone who has faced this journey knows, hospice care—especially at home—comes with significant expenses. From medical equipment and nursing support to making sure Julie has everything she needs to be at peace, these costs can quickly add up, placing an overwhelming burden on her family during an already heartbreaking time.

Julie has always been a source of light, laughter, and kindness to everyone around her. Whether she was offering a listening ear, sharing a warm smile, or being the rock for those in need, she has touched countless lives. Now, it’s our turn to support her and her family in this most difficult chapter.

We are humbly asking for your generosity to help cover her at-home hospice care expenses, ensuring that Julie receives the dignity, comfort, and love she deserves. Every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference in providing her with the best possible care.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with your network. Your thoughts, prayers, and support mean the world to us and to Julie's family.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with Julie during this time. Let’s come together to ease her and her family's burden and surround her with love.

With gratitude,

Alex Lupin
