  • Moving Forward Together

    So much has happened since our last update, and we want to share it with all of you who have held our family so close in prayer and support.
    One of the greatest heartbreaks has been the loss of our monarch, the leader of our family, the father to us all, Jim James. We were blessed to come together, to laugh and cry over his memories, and to feel the depth of his love as we honored his life. We will miss him dearly, and we are incredibly grateful for everyone who donated to Judd in his honor.
    Amid this loss, Judd has been making steady progress. Little Marian has been by his side from the very beginning. Fighting for him, advocating for him, and making sure he receives the care he deserves. Thanks to her dedication and all of your prayers, Judd is eating more, talking more, and giving his all in physical therapy.
    A major change in his journey is his move to the next stage of recovery. Judd is now in a highly ranked rehabilitation hospital in Jacksonville, Florida, much closer to his mom and to Marian’s home. We are hopeful and grateful that he will receive the strong PT support he needs as he continues to heal.
    Even with the doors that have closed, we trust that God is guiding us toward the ones meant to stay open. We ask that you continue to pray for Judd, for his caregivers, and for clarity on the road ahead. We may not know exactly what comes next, but we believe deeply that God hears every prayer and is walking this path with us.
    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us carry this weight. Your love and support mean more than you know.

About this fundraiser

On August 3rd, Judd James suffered a sudden and serious stroke. This unexpected medical emergency has turned his life upside down, and now, he needs our support.

If you know Judd, you know he’s one of the kindest, most generous people you could ever meet. He’s the first to lend a hand, offer a kind word, or show up when someone is in need. A devoted father of three, Judd is the sole provider for two of his children and the rock of his family.

Judd is facing an uncertain road to recovery. As he remains in the hospital, it’s unclear how long his stay will be or how long it will take before he can return to work. With mounting medical bills and no income during this time, he needs help covering daily expenses, ongoing treatments, and the care that will help him heal.

His family and friends have shown great generosity by dedicating their time, energy, and resources to care for him during this challenging period. The road ahead will require significant care, and while his family will continue to do all they can, the involvement of the extended community, whom he has always considered family, will play a vital role. Above all, we ask for your prayers, trusting in God’s grace to grant him strength, healing, and endurance. Your spiritual support brings great comfort and hope to him and his family during this challenging time.
