Justin Cox

My name is Justin, and I’m reaching out with a heart full of gratitude and faith during what has become one of the most powerful chapters of my life. At 17, I survived my first brain aneurysm by God’s grace alone. I never imagined the same battle would return at 35—but it did. Just weeks ago, I underwent my second brain surgery, and through every moment of fear and uncertainty, the Lord carried me. The intense moment came without warning. I collapsed at work one ordinary afternoon—my brain simply gave out under the pressure of the returning aneurysm. For ten long days I tried to push through the crushing headaches and overwhelming pain, waking each morning in agony and praying for strength just to get out of bed. I held on as long as I could, but the pain became too much. When the doctor confirmed the aneurysm had returned and emergency surgery was needed, I felt a wave of fear wash over me… until I remembered the same God who saved me at 17 was still right here. In the hospital, surrounded by the prayers of family, friends, and even strangers, I felt His peace that surpasses all understanding. The surgery was successful, and I woke up breathing, alive, and filled with a renewed sense of purpose. Now, in this season of recovery, I’m learning every day what it truly means to lean on the Lord and on the beautiful community He places around us. Because of the surgery and the time needed to heal, I lost my job. Medical bills, daily living expenses, and the quiet costs of rebuilding my strength have left me facing a mountain I cannot climb alone. Yet I know, without a doubt, that God never calls us to walk through the valley by ourselves. This GoFundMe is more than help with bills—it is a lifeline that could truly change the course of my recovery and my future. Your support would allow me to focus completely on healing: attending every follow-up appointment, resting when my body needs rest, and slowly stepping back into the life God has planned for me. It would lift the heavy weight of financial fear so I can wake up each morning grateful instead of worried. Even more than that, it would be a living testimony of how God moves through the kindness of His people—turning a difficult trial into a story of hope, restoration, and faith renewed. I don’t know why you’re here or how you found this page, but I thank God for you already. You are under no obligation—even if you know me personally—to give a single dollar. Please only do what feels right in your heart. Whether you donate, share this story, or simply lift me up in prayer, your kindness is already part of the miracle. Your prayers have carried me this far, and I believe they will carry me through the rest of this healing journey. Thank you for being the hands and feet of Jesus in my life. With a grateful heart and unwavering faith.. Justin Adam Cox Folsom, Louisiana
