As Lexi’s Light Co brings it first company donation to our page to continue fighting cancer in Lexi’s honor, I hope you take a minute to read what this foundation is about, how the foundation came to be and the brave young man and his mother behind it all: The T.J. Rasnick Foundation.

The candle: A Souls Light

Bringing about this candle takes me back to the days at Brenner’s Children Hospital and seeing brave children of all ages suffering from diverse types of cancers. To be quite honest, those children and teens were among the strongest and brightest lights around the entire facility. Anyone that has been to Wake Forest Baptist Health can tell you; the place is reasonably large. Most days merely a trip down to the cafeteria found so many angry, tired, hopeless people filling the halls. Coming back to the floor, the children’s cancer unit and simply seeing their faces, their smiling faces, made me feel different than I have ever felt before. These kids cast an energy not of anger, or fatigue, aggravation, or hopelessness but an energy of light, a beam of hope and their laughter brought the feeling of pure joy through the halls on the 9th floor. Not everyone gets to witness children fighting for their very lives yet beautifully and selflessly being so grateful to exist, to still just exist.

Thank you for supporting not only Lexi’s Light Co but also helping to donate to The T.J. Rasnick Foundation. Jill has helped countless of children in our community and surrounding communities bringing her own beckon of light. She was the first to help Lexi when she Lex was diagnosed. I cannot say enough about the work she does to bring a smile upon the faces of children and their families who are facing the tragedy of cancer. 100 percent of profit, less the supplies use to make the candles will go toward this amazing foundation this year.

This is Lexi's mom. Lexi's journey ended February 11, 2022 as she went home to be with the Lord and is now an angel. We are currently planning a celebration if life and will update this page with the details as soon as possible.

I want to personally thank her team of doctors and nurses, her community and her special friends for all the love and support that was given during her battle. To say she is loved beyond measure by everyone is an understatement.

Although Lexi is no longer with us she will forever be apart of each and everyone one of us as she has left such a beautiful imprint on all of our hearts. Thank you all.

Unfortunately we have received some bad news. After the doctors at MD Anderson collaborated with doctors at Wake Forest, they have come to the conclusion that it would be unsafe for Lexi to make the trip to Texas. However, they have discussed further treatment recommendations and Lexi has an appointment in clinic at Wake Forest to review our options on Monday. We are astounded by the unity, overwhelming support, and love of the community that has rallied behind our Lexi. Since we cannot make the trip to Texas, if anyone would need or want a refund of the money donated to help toward expenses and travel… please reach out to Miranda Carey or Tim Cole. However, if you would like for us to keep the donations, all funds will continue to be used for her ongoing treatment costs and care. Again, our family thanks each and every person that has supported her journey thus far. Please continue to keep Lexi and our family in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️

Hi everyone, most of you know about Lexi and her journey. For those not aware, Lexi is a 2021 Gradua… Shane Watkins needs your support for Get Lexi to Texas!

Hi everyone. April has given me permission to share the news about Lexi. As most aleady know, Lexi has been in the hospital the last several days with complications from the cancer. After doing many tests and scans, the doctors at Wake Forest have determined that the cancer has spread to multiple areas in her body. They have given her no further treatment options that they believe would help Lexi. Lexi will be coming home tomorrow with hospice care. This is a choice that Lexi has made. She does not want to participate in clinical trials. My sister has asked that if anyone knows someone in the medical field that would or could review Lexi’s case, to please message this page. We are not giving up hope on Lexi. We will take her anywhere that will accept her case for a second opinion. Please continue to pray for Lexi and her family. We are all heart broken but determined to make Lexi happy and comfortable at the same time. Thank you all for always praying and sending words of encouragement. ❤️

Asking for prayers tonight for Lexi and her mom as they head back to Wake Forest. Lexi had an outpatient chemotherapy treatment Monday and did well until this morning. She has been battling so many side effects of the treatment and they think her blood levels have dropped. I will try and update again as soon as we know more. ❤️

Lexi update: Lexi and her mom decided to head down Sunday to Wake Forest bc of the snow storm we were under. Lexi was suppose to have lymphedema therapy today but bc of the weather conditions it has been moved to Thursday. Thankfully, they made it there safely and are staying in a hotel until tomorrow. She will have 2 days of chemotherapy as long as her blood work is good. There has been no improvement in her lymphedema so far, and it is causing her a considerable amount of pain. Again, we ask for continued prayers and for the Lord’s healing touch on Lexi! Please also pray for every child that has to fight cancer! Thank you all for your love and prayers!❤️
