Help Julia Bridges Beat Cancer

Hi, my name is Jessica Perri and I am raising funds for my 18 month-year-old niece, Julia (pictured) who has been diagnosed with brain cancer.

Julia is a sweetie pie that loves food, snuggling, climbing up the stairs, Gabby's Dollhouse, and saying Mommy/Dada. She has a sister named Josephine, 3, who is full of spirit, loves her doctor kit, and wants her sister and parents to come home. Her parents, Jennifer and Evan recently moved into a beautiful new home where they enjoy entertaining and spending time as a family when not working their full-time in corporate jobs. The Bridges are located in Southern Indiana.

On Saturday, April 15th, Julia's mom (my sister Jen) took her to the hospital and they ran some tests. After locating a tumor on the left side of her brain, they operated immediately on April 16th.

So far, the tumor was removed and we are waiting to hear from other tests to determine her path forward. As of now, she is set to begin Chemotherapy at the beginning of May.

The last thing that I want my sister or family to worry about is how they will pay for Julia's care. Focusing on their baby girls is the top priority and everything else comes second right now.

Anything you can contribute to support is greatly appreciated. Not only are you helping Julia, but her whole family with 1 less thing to be concerned about.

I will post updates on her story as they unfold.

UPDATE 5/2/2023

Julie went in today for her Lumbar Puncture (aka Spinal Tap) to ensure there is no cancer in her lymph nodes or blood/body fluids. We should get results over the next few weeks. We are also waiting for results on whether she has Li-Fraumeni syndrome.

Please keep praying and thinking about her!

Below are some pictures from the tests today and rehab from last week. Another cute pic of Julia's big smile to brighten your day as well :)

UPDATE: Julia is progressing through her Chemotherapy! Her days are spent playing with the physical therapists, visits from her sister and other family members, cuddling and dancing with Mom, and of course stroller walks around the hospital floor.

The Bridges will still be in and out of the hospital until September helping Julia through her next rounds of treatment.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! ❤️
