About Me

Please join us to support a brave little girl in the fight of her life. Julia (Juls) Stone was recently diagnosed with and will BEAT stage four Ewing Sarcoma, a rare form of childhood bone cancer. She is a sweet and spunky little girl with a great deal of spirit. Her greatest champions are her mom and dad - Richie and Rachel. She is part of a loving Christian family made up of Richie, Rachel, 3 adopted children (Mackenzie, Ally, and Andrew) and two biological children (Julia and Ahnika). The family lives in southern Missouri and must travel to Children’s Hospital in St. Louis for Juls’ treatments. The medical and travel costs will be enormous so Team Juls is lending support in any way possible. We are rallying together to provide prayers, well-wishes and fundraising events. We aim to lend spiritual and emotional support and to ease the financial impact of medical/travel expenses for Juls' family during this tough time. Please join the fight with Team Juls!
There are a several ways to lend your support for Juls, so please reference the How You Can Help tab for more information. Thank you for your prayers all the support!

Four and Zero

Specific prayer request of the day: Pray that her fever goes down, pain in jaw and stomach from her chemo eases, and that her numbers and appetite go up and stay up.

From Momma:
-Wishing I could say her day got better but it didn't. She still hasn't eaten anything and won't drink. That makes 4 days now in a row :0(
She was awaken a moment ago by a shot in her leg...hoping this med will increase her white blood cells.  She did however ask to go to the garden once...even though she's too weak but she can't leave her room as she's in isolation.
This is extremely hard to watch. I have to keep reminding myself it won't be like this for long. Soon she'll be completely healed and stronger then ever!! I so miss my healthy happy Julia!
I know the Lord is using my precious daughter for a greater cause beyond my understanding!!
So I ask that you pray for these things tonight. Her blood counts, her fevers, her jaw pain, her stomach pain,increased appetite.
Pray that the Lord renews her body and praise Him for the healing He is given her!!!
I don't know how id be handling this if I didn't know God was going to deliver her from this.
I walked down to Siteman Center (where she was actually diagnosed) to their gift shop to get Juls a toy. As I walked down the hallway all those awful feeling came flooding back. Almost like a dark pit. It was so overwhelming! I got dizzy and thought I was gonna pass out. Those first few weeks during her diagnosis was the darkest time in my life. At the prayer service at church the Lord took all those feelings away and replaced them with hope and knowledge that she WILL be healed!! My God is so good.  If you don't have a church home and want to know more about my God who is so great we would love to have you join us at First Baptist in Owensville. We have an amazing pastor and an amazing church body!!

-Juls spiked a 102 fever this morning. Her counts have dropped more. Her white blood count is now 0.
Pray that her fever goes down as well as her pain in jaw from her chemo.
Pray her numbers go up and stay up.
Next week they will take out her stem cells which will take a few days then give her more chemo. The following week her cycle starts over so she'll receive the large 5 day dose of chemo.
I'm so grateful that she was feeling well on Saturday and was able to be apart of the fun.


Teespring shirts began arriving today, here's just a few supports modeling their Team Juls gear.

Reader and supporter requests!

#1, if you have a Team Juls shirt, please take a photo wearing it and send it to Sarah Hollandsworth, she is working on a scrapbook for Juls.
#2, check the How You Can Help and Events pages. We keep them updated as best as possible but want to know if we're missing anything, and of course, we want to see you at the events! Events should also match up to the FB group, so if you don't see something here or there, we probably don't know about it and would love to.
