A 13-year-old Georgia girl who presented to the emergency room with a headache and an ear infection passed away just hours after being diagnosed with leukemia.
Julia Chavez’s untimely death in the early hours of Monday morning shook her family, as her father Dennis Chavez stated that she had bleeding in her brain, lungs, and stomach, as well as throughout her body.
Georgia Girl Dies After Complaining Headache, Earache
The adolescent, commonly known as JuJu by her family, fell on Sunday after seeking antibiotics at an Augusta urgent care center. Julia was brought to the hospital, where blood tests and a CT scan revealed that she had cancer. She died approximately twelve hours later at 1am.
Except for being quickly fatigued and bruised, which her family had previously attributed to her being a tomboy, Julia exhibited no other warning signals. The teenage girl’s mother, Jenna Randall, was devastated to learn of Julia’s diagnosis. She remembered her kid as “bubbly, lively, and lovely.”
While Julia was only a teenager, her father never expressed concern over her bruises.
After Julia was hospitalized, Jenna issued an urgent Facebook plea for prayers for her unconscious daughter.
After losing their ‘perfect’ teen, Julia’s family thinks their lives will never be the same. The loss saddened her older brother, who described Julia as “his everything.”
Their grandfather, Ernie Randall, noticed that Jackson and Julia were inseparable.
“They were joined at the hip,’ Ernie explained to the news site. A few years back, I took Jackson to a car show, but he had no joy because Julia wasn’t with us.”

Friends Setup Page to Help Family
When asked to describe his granddaughter, Ernie used the words “wild” and “perfect.” His grandchild was the most wonderful little girl in the world, he remarked. “God says nobody is flawless, but I’d put that to the test by saying she is.”
Friends and family organized a dinner train for Julia’s parents when she was first hospitalized in the hopes that she would soon be recovering. Authoritatively, “JuJu has become really sick, very fast,” as stated by coordinator Nicole Ramos.
Because of how long it will take for her to get better, they will have to make the waiting room their temporary residence. Financial support for the family would be highly appreciated. As of Thursday, the dinner train page is still accepting donations and has already surpassed $900.
