Hello friends and family of Julie DeHut-Switzer and Marc Switzer

We’d like to update you to let you know that at this point in Julie’s journey, the cancer is winning. She’s not doing well. My brother is trying to stay home and help care for and spend as much time in with her as possible. Hospice care is also involved at this time.

So please, pray for Julie, for our family, for my brother to give him strength to get through this difficult time.

If you can, please consider once again helping out. Anything helps!!

Thank you, Jessica

Also Julie’s FB page was hacked several months back and she may not have had all her friends added to this new one. So please share!!
