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!

Twizzlers, smiles, who stopped by and a special share from Grandpa

Specific prayer request of the day: Pray tonight for Julia's blood counts!

From Grandpa David:
- I received a request for prayers for this young man's battle so please include him in your prayers. Lord please this lift young man up and lay your healing hands on his body to drive out this awful cancer.

This post was very difficult for me to put into words. Today was one of the hardest days we have had since diagnosis. Jared's cancer had returned in his right lung a few weeks ago and we started chemo in hopes of shrinking the tumors. Unfortunately we received word today that the doctors do not believe that the chemo is working. Jared will have a cat scan next week to confirm but if the tumors have done what we fear, which is grow despite the chemotherapy, we are in a very tough position. Jared is not done fighting and has stated this but it comes down to the fact that Jared has received all proven therapy for Ewings so any therapy we give him at this point will be a shot in the dark. This is amazingly frustrating for me. This is why childhood cancer research is so important. I have a child who is ready to fight but has no weapons to do so and its unfair. So please, Pray for a miracle for my baby. Pray that the drs are wrong, and if not then Pray that any new chemo will at least offer him symptom relief without making him sick...pray that we can try radiation and it helps his comfort because he is not giving up and we are standing behind him and beside him and supporting his choices 100%. This is his journey and we are simply along for the ride.

From Momma:
- Who stopped by my house this evening I'm sorry I didn't catch your name
- Praying tonight for Julia's blood counts. I'm trying things that's supposed to help her immune system but she doesn't want anything to do with it. The only thing she says taste normal are Twizzlers :0 ( I hate feeding her sugar but I've tried every fruit and veggie in season.
If her counts drop we can still stay home but we have to keep her fever free.
So any and all visitors wear a mask and sanitize hands at the door. Its so important she doesn't catch anything.
Please be in continued prayer for her
Having fun at Papa's Store
