Helping Julie

I thank Pam for putting the idea of a blog out there. This will be a great way for all of us to stay up to date on Julie's progress, check the schedules for bringing meals, cleaning, childcare, lawncare & give Julie a chance to communicate with us when it is convenient for her.

Many of you have expressed an interest in helping the Hubberts through this difficult journey. To the right of this post is a place where you can enter your email address to subscribe to Julie's posts to this blog. This means that whenever Julie posts and update on how she is doing (or someone who may be filling in for Julie) you will get an email sent to your email address with the post. You will not have to come to the blogsite each time you want an update. With this blog you will also be able to leave comments to Julie. I encourage you to click on the comment button below each post and give Julie your love and encouragement.

If you would like to be put on a schedule to bring the Hubberts meals, assist in cleaning their home (more detailed information below) be on call for child care if needed, or help take care of their lawn, simiply click on my email address to the right or give me a call and

  1. let me know which area you would like to help,
  2. when you are are available
  3. and how I can get ahold of you.
  4. If you know someone who wants to help, but doesn't have access to the internet, just pass on my name & number to them & I will add them.
Once you express your desire to help, I will give you a call and see what date(s) work for you. I will give you those dates then post your name on the interactive calendar here on the blog. This way you will be able to see when you are scheduled.

If you sign up to be on call for child care there will be a list here for Julie to access with your phone number. If you don't want your phone number to be listed here on blog, just let me know and I will keep it off.

If you are interested in helping with cleaning Ron & Julie's house we are thinking it may be best to have someone who can do this when Julie is at Chemo. This way we won't feel as if we are intruding on Julie's valuable rest/family time even though we all want to be around her, hug her and make her feel better.

Thank you so much for loving Julie and wanting to help. The best help we can all give Ron and Julie is the POWER OF PRAYER. It is incredible what prayer can do not only for the person you are praying for, but it will help you too - for we all know that if this was one of us with cancer she would be doing the same for us because she is just such an incredible person.

So we can all start here with Prayer - Pray for Julie. Pray for Ron, Anna, Rachel & Grace. Pray also for Julie's parents and siblings and for her doctors. God gives us all Grace - "Grace is the divine ability to cope with every circumstance". With our love and prayers we can all help Julie and her family.
God bless you and I look forward to hearing from you.
