Donate to Help Junior’s Journey with ALS!

Hi, my name is Monica, this page started as a fundraiser for my parents, Junior and Sharron Queen. My dad was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) in November 2022 and had symptoms for at least a year prior to that. My dad had his ultimate healing on October 7, 2023. To honor my dad, our family is starting Junior's Journeys. We hope to enhance the lives of families impacted by ALS. Through our support, we aim to create lasting memories and strengthen bonds by facilitating meaningful experiences and promoting quality of life for these families.

The start of Junior’s Journeys Foundation is a heartfelt team comprised of family members who have been deeply impacted by the devastating effects of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). We have come together to honor the memory of Junior Queen and to continue his legacy by offering family experiences for those with ALS. Donations from this fundraiser will be used to start Junior's Journeys to help families as they navigate ALS.

ALS is a terminal neuromuscular disease that robs a person of their voluntary muscles. View Junior's diagnosis announcement below.

There is no rhyme or reason for how ALS takes over the body. People with this disease can have several good weeks/months and then progress rapidly out of nowhere. This diagnosis was a shock to our entire family. The outcome of this disease is not promising, but I am grateful that we were able to enjoy the time we had by enabling him to LIVE his time with ALS doing things he loved and spending time with people he loves!

If you knew my dad, you know he would have given the shirt off his back to help out a friend. As a family, we want to keep his spirit of giving and helping others alive by lessening the burden for families dealing with this disease. Will hope to provide quality time and support as they navigate this devastating disease.

Donations from this page will be used to start Junior's Journeys to help families as they navigate ALS. We appreciate all the prayers, support, and kind words we have already received.
