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!

-Juls counts today are 171
Yay finally outta there and guess where are going after we get home....Chinese
She told the nurses she was going to eat chinese tonight!!!



From Grandpa David:
-Our girls back home once again.Yaahhh already wanting to go for Chinese. At least she wanting to eat. Glad to have them all back home, but bad for Richie he's already been called into work for tonight. Hopefully the roads won't get to bad and he will have a easy night.

1/30 - Higher counts

From Momma:
-Praying Juls counts are at least 100. Shes so ready to see her family

At night she always thanks God for letting us be a family. So sweet!!!

-Juls ANC is 28. If its 100 tomorrow we can leave !
Shes getting another blood transfusion. This is her 3rd since Friday. So please pray her counts go up and she starts eating.
I hate that she has 13 more rounds of this

From Grandpa David:
-Come on Juls this is no step for you girl after all that you have been through. Praying your ANC goes through the roof so you can get out of there. Special thanks to everyone that came out for the praise service it was a very moving service. The Gasconade County Republican photographer was there and took some great pictures and had a wonderful page in the paper!! We can't stop Thanking the Lord for all the blessing we have received. I am listening to the bigger girls laughing and playing downstairs.

-We had some special friends last night. ...this fire fighter drove from Macon to meet Juls.

















-Getting excited for tonight!
And a little nervous too
I don't speak well in front of large groups and I am not sure what to say yet.
I'm just going to let the spirit lead me!!
Juls had her 13th round of chemo today as well as a blood transfusion.
Praying she still feels good tonight.
We are having cake for her bday after the service so please stick around!!
Praising God, praising God!!

From Grandpa David:
-What a wonderful night!!Praise service was just amazing. Songs of praise, Rachel gave a very heartfelt testimony how God has cured Julia of this cancer that was in her body. Others giving testimonies. Julia was having a good time and was all over the place she sang for us and even was trying to help Brother Kevin out. Finally we ended the night singing Happy Birthday to Juls since tomorrow is her birthday. We all enjoyed birthday cake and fellowship.

1/23 - Post-chemo butterfly kisses

From Momma:
-So sweet at bedtime Juls tried to give me butterfly kisses. That's kinda hard to do without eyelashes but I giggled and pretended to feel them.
She was so silly tonight.
She's drinking plenty of milk just not eating much.
She seems to be doing good still, she'll have labs done tomorrow. So we will see if she needs any blood products.
God definitely has her firmly in his hands its so obvious every day!!
I continue to pray that this round doesn't get her down. I also pray that god protects her body from the chemo she is enduring.

1/22 - Heart


From Grandpa David:
-I have been given the Honor of being part of the Parade To Bring awareness to Childhood Cancer. Special Thanks to Wal-Mart for putting this parade together to make the lives of these Angels a little brighter.
  • From Ken Nelson at Wal-Mart Heart:The St James Heart team is happy to announce we have added Julia S to our event. We did an event for Julia but due to the effects of chemo was not able to do the full event. With her addition and the support of all three kids we have outgrown Union. THE EVENT WILL NOW START AT UNION AT 0900 AND ARRIVE AT WASHINGTON AR 1000.

1/21 - Half way done with chemo!

From Momma:
-Mrs. Shannon Lang brought Juls a new hat to match her old hair. Juls loves it

-Many things on my mind....
First Juls is doing good. No nausea meds or pain meds. But she's not eating much at all. Shes walking frontwards and backwards without a problem!!

-Her bday is Saturday she'll be 4. So happy for her big day. I found the Barbie Dream House she always wanted for half price at Wal-mart!!!
Friday is round13 of chemo which means we will be HALF WAY done with it! Also Saturday will be 6 months since we got the awful news....it's amazing how far God has carried us!!
Many times in the bible after Jesus healed the people were amazed and praised God giving Him all the glory!!
That's exactly what we are going to be doing Friday night at 7 at First Baptist Owensville. Everyone is welcomed to come and praise with us. Juls should be there.
It's a celebration and also a time of prayer for anyone else who needs it. Please join us

-I just have to say. ...
I HATE CANCER
