Bring Juliana (Juju) Lewis Home

Hi, my name is Samantha and I am fundraising for Julia Johnson. She is the mother of Juliana (Juju) Lewis, 16 year old girl that went missing on August 23rd, 2023.

Juliana left home to meet a man she met online and never returned. There is text messages between a friend and Juliana, admitting that this man was controlling her and had access to her social media accounts. Soon after she went missing, her accounts were deleted which has never happened before. She took minimal items with her and left behind very important belongings. No one has had any contact with her since.

In the past months Julia has made many changes, including outpatient therapy and virtual homeschool, to help her daughter receive the recovery and restoration she very much needed as she was a victim of human trafficking.

Knowing Juliana has been taken advantage of greatly and manipulated in the past, makes these circumstances dire and more than worrisome.

I myself am a survivor of human trafficking and when I heard Juliana’s story my heart was burdened deeply. She matters, her life matters and she doesn’t deserve what has happened to her and I want to do everything I can to help get her back and on the road to true healing.

We have a St Louis county detective on this case and he has said he has “limited resources”. A neighbor has video surveillance of a car outside Juliana’s house the time she went missing and it looks very similar to the same car as a close friend of hers. This friends mom has threatened Julia and refuses to help us locate Juliana. We believe she took her to meet the man. The detective will not follow up on the lead.

Julia is not able to work her job at this time, while she spends every hour of the day trying to locate her beautiful girl Juju.

We need your help finding this child. Her mother is worried sick. She is running out of funds to print flyers and material needed. She has a son that is needing counseling at this time to cope with everything happening and with Julia being gone trying to find her daughter.

She is also seeking to hire a private investigator that can access more resources to find her and pursue the lead we have.

Any donation helps. I can’t even fathom what Julia is feeling it is truly a mothers worse nightmare. I am hoping this gofundme will help alleviate some of the added stressors she is having right now.

If you can’t donate please share this and share Juliana’s missing flyers with anyone and everyone you can.

Juliana is biracial and she is close with the Hispanic community, so if you have connections there please share this and do what you are able to.

Thank you.
