You are such awesome friends. I feel like they see you as an extension to their family. How amazing are Ellie's parents and Aunt Sonia is so inspirational in sharing her journey with us.
I'm 30, a single mom of three and have been battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer for the last 3 years. This sure brought memories of losing my hair almost a year ago. It kept falling out and it was very depressing. So one day, I just shaved it off! I felt a lot better a after, but I cried about it. My hair is just starting to grow back now :). My doc gave me an initial prognosis of 6 months and I'm still here! When I found out, it was breast cancer that spread into my bones and it hasn't spread any further than that yet. God is good!! Sometimes it takes what seems like a tragedy to realize how great and beautiful life truly is. God bless you on your journey!!
I'm 13 and my friend actually died this year of cancer right before Christmas and she had most beautiful red hair. I will never forget the day I saw her without hair and she told me just because I'm sick doesn't mean I'm different. And I know that she is watching me from heaven and I hope anyone who is sick will remember that as I will remember that for the rest of my life.
Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I know your friend is looking down on you and watching over you. She must have been very pretty just like you :). You are so brave and I am so sorry for her loss!! My prayers are for you and her family. 😍😘❤️
Maddi Dawn I lost a friend right before Christmas as well. It's the hardest thing i've ever been through. Keep your head up and I'll keep you in my thoughts.
I was 13 when i was diagnosed with leukemia.. I'll turn 15 on Frieday and i'm almost finished with my treatment! Just a few Month to go and right now everything is Looking great :) i had a very hard time and was on intensive Care for 2 Month, had to learn to Walk again and it wasnt always easy but i made it. If i can you can make it to! I belive in you💕
My heart hurts seeing this, I'm a cancer patient, I have Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia & I feel the pain of your aunt, it hurts to loose hair, even if hair is just hair it makes it more realistic that you're really going through it. Your aunt is in my thoughts & prayers. She will get better, God is with her ❤️. Strongest person over! She's brave for doing this took me a few months to cut my hair & she has such a positive mind set so I know she will beat this & be better than great!
My mother was my best friend. I'm 19 and she passed away from Ovarian Cancer this past February. I remember the first time she walked in the room with a shaved head and all I could think of was how much of a beautiful warrior she was. Drawn on eyebrows, fake eyelashes, and wigs had became the norm. As well as the hospital becoming our new home and one problem after another until her sweet body couldn't take it any longer. I don't doubt that she is the most beautiful angel and her presence surrounds me with every step I take. Cancer is a terrible thing and the day we find a cure will be the best day on earth. I pray for all cancer patients. Have faith and find peace within the journey. You are not alone and loved by so many. xoxo
Devon Walter aww I'm just seeing this a year later but I'm praying for you I'm sure this was the hardest thing ever! I'm super close with my mom also and I can't amagine losing her,I'm 13 btw and I hope that you are able to stay healthy.love and prayers from~Sarah.D😌🙏🏼🤝
My mom had breast cancer when I was in third grade and I remember that we had a shaving party when her hair started falling out. We died her hair pink and blue, (pink for my sister's favorite color and blue for mine) then shaved it all off. I remember hating it, I wanted my mom to stay the same. Now five years later she is healthy and has beautiful brown hair without a speck of gray in it as the chemo made her have new hair follicles. Your hair will come back beautiful Sonja! You are beautiful and bald is beautiful! Your strength, courage and smile will get you through this!
Your not the only one, I have a few tears running down my cheek. Happy & emotional tears. They are an amazing supportive family! I will be praying for her & anyone else who has to fight any kind of cancer or any other illness that affects their lives.
Me to i felt sad and almost cried. So many people fight through this, some succeed and some dont but they will always be in our heart and watch us no matter how far they are. God bless the mecham family. 😔😪🙏
That was so beautiful. I remember when my mom's long time best friend had cancer. She is like my second mom and she had non Hodgkins lymphoma when I was about 12. She came over one day and her hair was falling out and she said screw it let's shave it. We shaved it and we all went to the wig store and bought really fun colorful wigs and she rocked those every day. Her kids thought it was so cool. She is in remission now. Your family is in our prayers
Elle your mom is such a strong and inspiring women! I love your family you guys are so humble and God driven. I will be praying for your aunt and I wish her the very best ❤️ your mom and her are so beautiful inside and out 💕
I'm really happy for your family she is cured, my uncle had thyroid cancer and was cured but my mom had lung cancer and didn't make it. I like to hear when people overcome this horrible disease.
Watched Bonnie and Ruby's vlogs and I remembered about this video, so I looked up for it and I am bawling my eyes out. What a wonderful courageous woman. I am so sorry for your loss and for your whole family, she will undoubtedly be missed. Just try to remember she's with our Heavenly Father now and she's looking over all of you and is now in peace. No more suffering, no more pain for her. I send prayers and thoughts your way, God bless you always. Rest in peace Aunt Sonia. ❤🙏
Jared and Ellie- I am one of those "silent subscribers" watching you since you had only about 10,000 subs! I have enjoyed every single one of your videos because of the family and love that is expressed in all of them. I so clearly remember the day we shaved my Grandmas hair. I was in tears while listening to Sonja and watching the emotions flash across her face. She is an extremely brave, strong, and inspirational woman. Thank you for making a beautiful moment out of something that is difficult for so many families to go through. Looking forward to tomorrow.
So sorry this beautiful lady passed away. She seemed like a lovely person. Sorry for your loss Ellie, Jared, and family. Aunt Sonya will be looking over you. Rip Sonya💕😇
Ellie, your aunt is an amazing woman. I just lost my mother to brain cancer and the words your aunt expressed brought me to tears. My family, like your aunt said, is amazed at how loved and empowered you can feel when others pull together in a time of need. I wish your family the best results and may you all continue to fight against Cancer.
My grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer not too long ago, I remember sending letters to her hospital and waiting for the phone to ring. I prayed every night seeking for an answer for my prayers to be answered. Sometimes I'd just sit and look at things that would remember me of her. Not to long after that she was out of the hospital, cancer free! I was so excited I couldn't wait to see her! And to everyone who has cancer, knows someone with cancer, or knows someone who did with cancer this is for you: When you listen to your heart you hear things. You hear things telling you that it will all get better. Sometimes it doesn't. But don't throw your hope away just because it seems like things aren't going good. They are fighters. They love you. You know them. Be proud to say that your sad, or unhappy. Because it's ok to feel that way. Ask someone for a warm and loving hug. Keep their memory in your heart. Stay strong. Because you are amazing and can get through anything, if you try. Thanks for reading this everyone. Have a nice day! And remember, stay true to yourself, and believe. :)
My heart reaches out to you guys. Cancer stinks! This video brings back all the memories of my grandma having cancer. It's crazy how when a family member gets the awful diagnosis the rest of the family feels that pain as well. Prayers and love are being sent your way from Indiana! My son (5) and I started watching your channel almost a year ago along with Daily Bumps. It's now part of our morning routine :)
My grandma has multiple myeloma as well. Last August they told us she only had a month left, and she's still with us today. Unfortunately we aren't able to keep her at home as its not as easy or comfortable for her. I've grown up living with all 4 grandparents and it feels like a piece of the puzzle is missing. :( I'm still thankful she's with us even if she's not home.
That was just so awesome !! My mother-in-law passed away 5 yrs. ago and she had cancer and if a positive attitude could have healed her she would be here today. I remember her telling us things will be alright either way and the strength she showed was overwhelming !! I will keep your sweet, sweet aunt in my prayers!!! Big hugs to her and your sweet Mom!! :)
My grandmother is a colon cancer survivor and it is defiantly a roller coaster ride. She stayed as positive as possible and I truly believe that is what helped her fight.
This is so so sweet and emotional!! I had a friend with cancer, and his entire group of friends shaved their heads. It's such a stressful and emotional time, but it really makes you grateful for your life and health. I'm never going to forget seeing the picture of my friend in hospital, on the verge of death. That was eight years ago. He is now playing baseball on the school team. What I'm trying to say, is be grateful and pray for the ones less fortunate.
This reminds me so much of my grandmother. My grandmother passed of breast cancer when I was only 5 years old. She was my bestfriend. She was so strong! Her one token of hope through her treatment was her hair. She lost her hair only a few weeks after starting treatment and from then on wore beautiful wigs. She had a whole collection. My grandmother felt it was her duty to keep me safe. She would not allow me to feel fearful toward the situation. Her wigs were her way of doing so. I love her and miss her with every strand of my being! I am now 17 and wish that one day I can empower women such as my grandma and your aunt have!
Very touching, when you have family members that has had cancer and lost there battle.. Your aunt is a true fighter Ellie!! You did an amazing thing for your family!! Praying for your family Ellie and Jared!
I skipped this vlog last week. But today I went to it and now I'm bawling. My heart is so heavy for a few reasons. The love that your aunt has from you guys is amazing, and my mom passed away from liver cancer in 1999, she never had a fighting chance. She never had the opportunity to have this support. So to watch this and see your parents support her, was was so neat! On a happier note, We'll be seeing you guys at CVX Live! We're volunteering!
My dad had stage 3 (almost 4) colon cancer that was spreading and he has been in remission for 12 almost 13 years. Then my grandma (my mom's mom) had I think it was cervical cancer. Her cancer tumor was as big as a beach ball. She was in remission for 15 year before a stroke that lead to an aneurism took her this last November. But medicine has come along away in the last 50+ years. Its come a long way even in my lifetime. And I'll be 18 in October. I'm hopeful for your aunt and I'll keep her in my prayers. This video definitely got the water works going.
I too came here after Sonya's passing. I have teared up from the closeness of this family, while watching the vlogs since her passing. The love is overwhelming. RIP Sonya, your battle is over.
Prayers to your Aunt during her recovery. My dad has had colon cancer for 11+ years and he is still going strong and doing very well so there is hope! The love and support your family shows is amazing and touching to see. Best of luck to all of you!
Beautiful. This brought tears to my eyes. It seems everyone knows someone fighting a battle with cancer. She is so lucky to have such a wonderful support group. Prayers to yall!
Came from Bonnies channel and you all look fab.. I had cancer last year and the cancer I had was sarcoma.. I had a big op and radiotherapy every day for 7 weeks and was in hospital for 2 weeks was so hard as I didn't get to see my 3 kids till the end of the last week.. I was 35 when I got told I had cancer deep in my soft tissue.. I am doing better now but the kind of cancer I had has a high chance of it coming back in my lungs but could come back anywhere in my body.. Good luck to everyone that is living with cancer or has some they know with cancer.... Xx
Such an emotional video. What a loving and supportive family! My dad passed away in 2008 from skin cancer he had gotten from serving overseas so watching this video really hit home for me. Please tell her I will be praying for her! And her family.
This is very beautiful!!! My grandma is my best friend and she 10 years ago we got the call saying my grandma had colon cancer. My grandma is the strongest women I know. And we did all the chemo and treatment I stood by her the whole time. She started to lose her hair she didn't want to go out anywhere cause she didn't like people staring at her. So I was in high school still. I went to see her and to take her to lunch and she wouldn't go because her hair. My hair is very thick and is down to my but. I walked in her house to get her and she just keep saying no we will order lunch so you don't have people staring at u. I told her I had a gift and she said you are my gift and when I took my beanie off I was bold she cried but I told her she is going and she couldn't be the only one with no hair! But she kicked cancer but and is still going strong she is now 75!
Wow just wow as a parent less woman from a very young age this touched my heart I lost my mum when I was 6yrs and my dad when I was 20yrs both to cancer. Your aunt is a inspiration her strength and faith is unbelievable x
Your aunt has a beautiful soul and high spirits. I hope she pulls through everything just fine. She's lucky to have a wonderful support system. Brought me to tears listening to her story. God Bless.
I cried so much at this! My big sister, my grandad and my uncle have had cancer and this video just meant so much all the support and LOVE in this family is just amazing to watch! So much love to all you guys xxx
Thank you so much for posting this. I lost my grandad to cancer but he wasn't just my grandad he was more like a father to me. This week has been tough on me considering its Father's Day today and I wanted to say thank you so much for showing the bravery that most go through and how family should stick together. I am so proud of yours and Ellie's family!
This is such a beautiful and touching vlog! My mom lost her sister to cancer almost 6 years ago now. My aunt was an amazing lady... She actually *did* breastfeed my older brother when my mom was unable to after a very traumatic birth, having just had her own baby two months before! Yeah, she nursed her daughter and her nephew! I remember you talking with your sister about that a few vlogs ago--that you would breastfeed for each other, if necessary. Sisterhood is amazing and the love is eternal!
I'm still catching up on all of your vlogs. I started watching last year from the very beginning. I've seen plenty of your touching videos but this one got me. The fact that she didn't have to take that big step alone is wonderful. Hair might only be a superficial part of you but it can be very hard to lose your hair when its beyond your control. So hugs to Ellie's aunt for showing cancer who's boss. And hugs to the entire family for supporting her!
wow... pretty powerful. i watched this laying in my hospital recliner after receiving my fourth round of chemo today. i don't have colon cancer but i have chron's disease, diagnosed two years ago at 15 and this hit home. i have not lost my hair but when i began my infusions and we didn't know how i would react to the drug i had lots of friends, family and loved ones offer to shave their heads with me so i know just how much this meant to aunt Sonja. support in the hard times is crucial. thanks for sharing
Wow such a beautiful and touching thing your mom did for aunt Sonya! Brought tears to my eyes. Both such special women. God bless your family and my prayers are with you all and Sonya.
My grandmother passed away from breast cancer when i was around 6-7 years old and at first I didn't understand what was going on at the funeral. I remember seeing my family crying, and when it was my turn to go see my grandma inside the casket I think I gave her a kiss. I know she looked beautiful. She was a stunning lady. Once we were leaving the funeral home, and I realized my grandma wasnt coming with me, I sat on my knees in the back seat facing the cars behind the car and started crying. I had a short time with my grandma but my memories of her, even though there arent that many, still stay with me. I wish your aunt and anyone who is going through this the very best. My love goes to all of you and I wish you all the very best. You are all warriors. And I pray to the lord that he stands by your side in this war. I cried quite a lot.
Just got to the end of the video and balled my eyes out... But not because I was sad, but because it's absolutely amazing the bond all of you have as a family. It just makes my heart warmer than anything else.
This video really made me emotional. I just lost my old Choir teacher to skin cancer. I've also lost my grandma and friend. It's really heart-breaking but they all were loved so much. They did incredible things with their lives and were happy doing it. I wish I could see them again. Im not religious but I like to believe they watch over me. All the love to Aunt Sonya. You're family is wonderful and Im so glad you have them. Stay Strong, you CAN do it
We live in Idaho and my grandmother was 66 and she had cancer I'm 26 and she told me to live strong and don't forget that she will be up there having a good time and she's not suffering any more 💗💗💖💖💙💙💜💜 I send love to everyone who has cancer its hard but u all look beautiful sending love my names not really val its Kelsey sending love from Kelsey my grandmother died December 11,2015 we miss u gram 💖💖💕💕
I hope your aunt makes a full and quick recovery! This gesture your family did was so heartwarming! I've been watching your videos for a while now and it's my first time commenting. Congratulations on reaching 300K! I'm excited to be a part of that number and I am sure that many more will join because happiness is contagious and your videos are full of happiness, joy and love! Love, all the way from Portugal!
This video is really touching! My grandmother was said to have breast cancer and she had an operation recently. Hoping for the best and wish your familly all the best.
My Papa who was very close to me when I was a little girl had stomach cancer. He was with me pretty much every day from the moment I was born until he took his last breath when I was five. He had been having stomach issues and weird pain in his stomach and the doctors just kept blowing him off, they went to operate on him to see if they could remove the cancer. By the time they operated the cancer had really took up his whole digestive system, it was very advanced and sadly there was nothing they could do for him. I think he passed about a year after the diagnosis, I still can't believe its been 15 years I miss him so much.
I am so sorry for the Cancer diagnosis. I lost my Dad to stage 4 lung cancer last year. My uncle had colorectal cancer and he fought it and lived pretty well for 6 years. I still believe in miracles and the power of prayer. So I am praying for you and hoping for miracles. God is with you.
As I'm watching this I am quickly moved to tears. This is truly heart warming to see such a supportive family come together like this. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless all of you and you will be in my prayers. Thanks for being so brave 🌼
😭 what a wonderful family! Having a close family member battle with cancer at the moment and one pass recently this hit very close to home. Prayers to your aunt Sonia
Watching this just a few days after your sweet aunt has passed, Ellie. I am so sorry for your loss. It's amazing how quickly your babies have grown and you look so different, but still beautiful inside and out! My prayers are with your family at this time.
Aunt Sonya made me cry. One of my very best friends mothers passed away last January to pancreatic cancer. The first time I met her she was in recovery from having a procedure to remove part of her intestines. We grew so close in that very small window of time. Right before I was due to deliver my son she was actually declared NED (no evidence of disease). Only a short time later it had come back worse and spread to more places. The last time I saw her I brought my son who was only 4 months old at that point, I layed him next to her and she smiled. She was on so many pain medications but she still knew who was laying next to her. I know she watches over us every day. She was such a blessing in my life and I am truly glad to have known her even if it was for such a brief period in my life.
I just came across this old video. It made me smile because I recently had to shave my head for brain surgery. Your mom and aunt both look so beautiful. I am so sorry about sweet aunt Sonya, I am just glad you can look back and remember the good times with her through these videos.
My mum is undergoing chemo at the moment and this video really touched me. I hope that, just like your aunt, my mum feels loved throughout the peaks and the troughs. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way. Xx
This is the reason that Ellie and Jared are my absolute favorite RUclipsrs-it's real life. They share the laughter, the fun, the pain and sorrows. They grasp life and hold it tight, they live everyday to the fullest and know there is nothing more important than family. Seeing the love that Ellie's family has for one another is absolutely honest, heartfelt and raw and I am constantly moved to tears. #kickingcancersbutt #familybonds
Prayers are with you Sonja, it hit close to home my grandmother six years ago had lung cancer and it was agreessive and it hit home of how much hope Sonja you are giving to all cancer suffers. She passed away six years ago, so brave of you guys to shave ya'lls head! Big love from Australia!
My dad was just diagnosed with colon cancer. He had surgery last week. He has stage 2 as of now and after the PET scan we will know more. I will pray for you all as I pray for my dad.
This end of this vlog brought me to tears. I lost my grandma 23 years ago when I was 7 1/2 to Ovarian Cancer. I miss her dearly. I wish Aunt Sonya the best of luck and God's blessings that she beats this cancer!
Made me cry so very touching watching todays vlog your Aunt is in my prayers everyday, I had cervical cancer and I've been cancer free for almost 13 years god bless your family!!!
This was so sweet!!! I was thinking of shaving my head a while back for Talia Castellano, and I just didn't have the guts to. Sonja is so brave and will get through this. And not to mention she has a beautiful voice!!! Praying for you guys!!!
sad music.. cue the tears! So special! I love the support your family gives throughout all of your family. I hope one day i can be like you guys! Praying for Aunt Sonya!!
God bless your aunt & may there be prayers with her every minute of everyday. I cried like a baby watching this. Such a touching moment. Was so beautiful. Everyone looks wonderful!
Wow....did not expect a video like that, and to hear Ellie's grandmother passed away from Multiple Myeloma felt like a dagger to my heart, 11 months ago we said goodbye to my dad who had the same cancer, he battled it for 11 years. Love you dad xoxo
i lost my mom to cancer 3 years ago. Your aunt is super lucky to have an awesome support system. she is in our thoughts and prayer. STICKING IT TO CANCER! you can beat this!
THIS is why I love you guys so much. Prayers going up for your aunt, Ellie. As well as all of your family. Your brother and sister in law too, Jared! ❤️
omg I have the chills. recently my mom got diagnosed with colon cancer. everything that your moms sister said was exactly what my mom felt. (stomachaches) my mom now has been losing a ton of hair. this really sparked something in my heart. for anyone going through something like this, always know you have so much people that love and care for you. Ellie and Jared, i would really appreciate it if you replied :)
What a beautiful thing for your family to do! Your aunt has gorgeous eyes, and believe it or not, losing her hair has really made them shine. My prayers are with your Aunt as she goes through this journey.
My Grandma battled cancer for 3 1/2 years before losing her battle and losing all her hair is what she was the most afraid of. I offered many times to shave my hair off and give it to her as a wig but she always told me if I ever cut my hair she would be upset with me. What a great group of supporter she has behind her. Im supporting and rooting for you. Stay Strong. -With love from California
Thank you so much for sharing your family with us and what your aunt is going through. Prayers for your Aunt and your family. Awesome and amazing love that your family has showed. Tears are flowing from all the love that was just shared.
I give you all so much props for doing that. cancer truly does suck. I've wanted to shave my head for a while for cancer but never have the guts to do it. I've had my fair share of encounters with cancer, not personally, but through family members, and to watch a family member basically deteriorate right before your eyes is probably the hardest thing ive ever had to do and I would never wish it upon anyone. ellie you guys are very lucky that your grandma was able to fight for so long and that your aunt has such a fighting spirit. I had to watch the fight slowly fade away from my grandma in a mere 6 weeks before she lost her battle, and then again 10 years later had to watch the fight slowly fade away in my grandpa for a 6 week battle before he was taken. When it comes to anything, not just cancer, you never know when the last moment together will be. as cullen has said in his vlogs before "we live in a life of uncertainty, things can change in the blink of an eye." so I urge everyone to hug their parents, their aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, tell them you love them, and keep them close to your hearts. If your not talking to relatives, make up, no fight will ever be worth the heart ache you feel when their gone, the pain of not being able to say goodbye. I live with that pain every single day and it does not get any better. I never got to say goodbye to 3 out of 4 of my grandparents and it kills me each and every day. with 2 out of 4 grandparents i said the same thing, I'll go visit them tomorrow, i'm too tired.. little did I know that night would be their last and I lost my chance to say goodbye one last time. I wish every single day that I could have my grandparents back for just one more day to hug them and tell them I love them and say goodbye to them one more time. I wish every day that I could re-do those days and spend every waking moment with them that I could just so I could have some closure. So really I do urge everyone out there this holiday season, and every other time of the year to keep your family as close as possible bc you never know whats in store and what could happen.
I have been watching you guys for a few months but I've never commented before. Seeing Ellie's Mom shave her head with her sister was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. You guys ALL seem to be such genuinely good people.
I so very rarely cry but this video did it I'm am so proud of all of you for fighting and staying strong through this. My grandpa recently had cancer almost a year ago and what was crazy about that was he kept it from even his wife and we didn't know until it got to the point where he couldn't hide it. It is just so amazing what you feel when someone you love is going through cancer but it's even better when your family and close friends support you and stand up for you. I'm so sorry but believe you will make it because you are such an amazing person. And incredibly beautiful no matter what. I'm sending prayers to you now and everyone in heaven that you know is standing by your side through this whole journey. I love and support you. And remember you are AMAZING and a ROLE MODEL to all those who love you. 😘😘😭😭😰
Just when I thought Ellie's mom couldn't get any cooler... She's amazing!!

You are such awesome friends. I feel like they see you as an extension to their family. How amazing are Ellie's parents and Aunt Sonia is so inspirational in sharing her journey with us.
I agree with you Diane koplewsky
***** I am so impressed with you two. Really showed Christ's love coming to give Ellie rest.
I'm 30, a single mom of three and have been battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer for the last 3 years. This sure brought memories of losing my hair almost a year ago. It kept falling out and it was very depressing. So one day, I just shaved it off! I felt a lot better a after, but I cried about it. My hair is just starting to grow back now :). My doc gave me an initial prognosis of 6 months and I'm still here! When I found out, it was breast cancer that spread into my bones and it hasn't spread any further than that yet. God is good!! Sometimes it takes what seems like a tragedy to realize how great and beautiful life truly is. God bless you on your journey!!
Stay Strong I Wish You Luck
Miss Bliss praying for you ❤️
i am so sorry
Miss Bliss you will be in my prayers love you
Miss Bliss I hope you are better!!!
I'm 13 and my friend actually died this year of cancer right before Christmas and she had most beautiful red hair. I will never forget the day I saw her without hair and she told me just because I'm sick doesn't mean I'm different. And I know that she is watching me from heaven and I hope anyone who is sick will remember that as I will remember that for the rest of my life.
Oh my gosh I'm so sorry! I know your friend is looking down on you and watching over you. She must have been very pretty just like you :). You are so brave and I am so sorry for her loss!! My prayers are for you and her family. 😍😘❤️
Thank you. I'm glad there are people like you this world who are so kind and thoughtful.

My heart hurts seeing this, I'm a cancer patient, I have Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia & I feel the pain of your aunt, it hurts to loose hair, even if hair is just hair it makes it more realistic that you're really going through it. Your aunt is in my thoughts & prayers. She will get better, God is with her ❤️. Strongest person over! She's brave for doing this took me a few months to cut my hair & she has such a positive mind set so I know she will beat this & be better than great!
May u make a speedy recovery n have a blessed long,happy n healthy life ahead Angie!
Angie Mata You're a trooper Angie! Keep going and I wish you the best!
You are so amazing!!!👍👍👍
Thank you guys for your kind words ❤️ means so much!
My mother was my best friend. I'm 19 and she passed away from Ovarian Cancer this past February. I remember the first time she walked in the room with a shaved head and all I could think of was how much of a beautiful warrior she was. Drawn on eyebrows, fake eyelashes, and wigs had became the norm. As well as the hospital becoming our new home and one problem after another until her sweet body couldn't take it any longer. I don't doubt that she is the most beautiful angel and her presence surrounds me with every step I take. Cancer is a terrible thing and the day we find a cure will be the best day on earth. I pray for all cancer patients. Have faith and find peace within the journey. You are not alone and loved by so many. xoxo
Devon Walter aww I'm just seeing this a year later but I'm praying for you I'm sure this was the hardest thing ever! I'm super close with my mom also and I can't amagine losing her,I'm 13 btw and I hope that you are able to stay healthy.love and prayers from~Sarah.D😌🙏🏼🤝
My mom had breast cancer when I was in third grade and I remember that we had a shaving party when her hair started falling out. We died her hair pink and blue, (pink for my sister's favorite color and blue for mine) then shaved it all off. I remember hating it, I wanted my mom to stay the same. Now five years later she is healthy and has beautiful brown hair without a speck of gray in it as the chemo made her have new hair follicles. Your hair will come back beautiful Sonja! You are beautiful and bald is beautiful! Your strength, courage and smile will get you through this!
I started crying when Aunt Sonya was talking! I love you guys. x
Your not the only one, I have a few tears running down my cheek. Happy & emotional tears. They are an amazing supportive family! I will be praying for her & anyone else who has to fight any kind of cancer or any other illness that affects their lives.
I did too!
It was so sad 😭
Lottie Kempster-Bell I totally agree :( totally bawled. I pray that cancer will have a cure in the VERY near future.
Me to i felt sad and almost cried. So many people fight through this, some succeed and some dont but they will always be in our heart and watch us no matter how far they are. God bless the mecham family. 😔😪🙏
That was so beautiful. I remember when my mom's long time best friend had cancer. She is like my second mom and she had non Hodgkins lymphoma when I was about 12. She came over one day and her hair was falling out and she said screw it let's shave it. We shaved it and we all went to the wig store and bought really fun colorful wigs and she rocked those every day. Her kids thought it was so cool. She is in remission now. Your family is in our prayers
MBTV Vlogz glad she isbetter . I lost my grandma to Brain cancer last year

My mom had thyroid cancer. She is cured now. This video made me so happy!
I'm really happy for your family she is cured, my uncle had thyroid cancer and was cured but my mom had lung cancer and didn't make it. I like to hear when people overcome this horrible disease.
my mom also had thyroid cancer but they found it early and she was cured!
My mom didn't have cancers but she had massive tumors in her arm😔 she almost lost her arm!!! And her life
Watched Bonnie and Ruby's vlogs and I remembered about this video, so I looked up for it and I am bawling my eyes out. What a wonderful courageous woman. I am so sorry for your loss and for your whole family, she will undoubtedly be missed.
Just try to remember she's with our Heavenly Father now and she's looking over all of you and is now in peace. No more suffering, no more pain for her.
I send prayers and thoughts your way, God bless you always. Rest in peace Aunt Sonia. ❤🙏
So sad watching this after hearing the news that aunt Sonya passed away
Jared and Ellie- I am one of those "silent subscribers" watching you since you had only about 10,000 subs! I have enjoyed every single one of your videos because of the family and love that is expressed in all of them. I so clearly remember the day we shaved my Grandmas hair. I was in tears while listening to Sonja and watching the emotions flash across her face. She is an extremely brave, strong, and inspirational woman. Thank you for making a beautiful moment out of something that is difficult for so many families to go through. Looking forward to tomorrow.
So sorry this beautiful lady passed away. She seemed like a lovely person. Sorry for your loss Ellie, Jared, and family. Aunt Sonya will be looking over you. Rip Sonya💕😇
I didn't know Ellie's mom could be even more sweeter. She is such a sweet, selfless, giving sister. This made ke cry. It was beautiful!
Rest in piece Sonya :( you were a fantastic person
My dad is currently going through chemo for colon cancer. This video hits very close to home. Thank you for sharing your story!
+Mommie Ventures hope he gets better good luck
Ellie, your aunt is an amazing woman. I just lost my mother to brain cancer and the words your aunt expressed brought me to tears. My family, like your aunt said, is amazed at how loved and empowered you can feel when others pull together in a time of need. I wish your family the best results and may you all continue to fight against Cancer.
My grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer not too long ago, I remember sending letters to her hospital and waiting for the phone to ring. I prayed every night seeking for an answer for my prayers to be answered. Sometimes I'd just sit and look at things that would remember me of her. Not to long after that she was out of the hospital, cancer free! I was so excited I couldn't wait to see her! And to everyone who has cancer, knows someone with cancer, or knows someone who did with cancer this is for you: When you listen to your heart you hear things. You hear things telling you that it will all get better. Sometimes it doesn't. But don't throw your hope away just because it seems like things aren't going good. They are fighters. They love you. You know them. Be proud to say that your sad, or unhappy. Because it's ok to feel that way. Ask someone for a warm and loving hug. Keep their memory in your heart. Stay strong. Because you are amazing and can get through anything, if you try. Thanks for reading this everyone. Have a nice day! And remember, stay true to yourself, and believe. :)
* remind me
*knows someone who died
DMXBK PRAISE GOD.
My heart reaches out to you guys. Cancer stinks! This video brings back all the memories of my grandma having cancer. It's crazy how when a family member gets the awful diagnosis the rest of the family feels that pain as well. Prayers and love are being sent your way from Indiana! My son (5) and I started watching your channel almost a year ago along with Daily Bumps. It's now part of our morning routine :)
My grandma has multiple myeloma as well. Last August they told us she only had a month left, and she's still with us today. Unfortunately we aren't able to keep her at home as its not as easy or comfortable for her. I've grown up living with all 4 grandparents and it feels like a piece of the puzzle is missing. :( I'm still thankful she's with us even if she's not home.
That was just so awesome !! My mother-in-law passed away 5 yrs. ago and she had cancer and if a positive attitude could have healed her she would be here today. I remember her telling us things will be alright either way and the strength she showed was overwhelming !! I will keep your sweet, sweet aunt in my prayers!!! Big hugs to her and your sweet Mom!! :)
My grandmother is a colon cancer survivor and it is defiantly a roller coaster ride. She stayed as positive as possible and I truly believe that is what helped her fight.
This is so so sweet and emotional!! I had a friend with cancer, and his entire group of friends shaved their heads. It's such a stressful and emotional time, but it really makes you grateful for your life and health. I'm never going to forget seeing the picture of my friend in hospital, on the verge of death. That was eight years ago. He is now playing baseball on the school team. What I'm trying to say, is be grateful and pray for the ones less fortunate.
This reminds me so much of my grandmother. My grandmother passed of breast cancer when I was only 5 years old. She was my bestfriend. She was so strong! Her one token of hope through her treatment was her hair. She lost her hair only a few weeks after starting treatment and from then on wore beautiful wigs. She had a whole collection. My grandmother felt it was her duty to keep me safe. She would not allow me to feel fearful toward the situation. Her wigs were her way of doing so. I love her and miss her with every strand of my being! I am now 17 and wish that one day I can empower women such as my grandma and your aunt have!
Very touching, when you have family members that has had cancer and lost there battle.. Your aunt is a true fighter Ellie!! You did an amazing thing for your family!! Praying for your family Ellie and Jared!
I skipped this vlog last week. But today I went to it and now I'm bawling. My heart is so heavy for a few reasons. The love that your aunt has from you guys is amazing, and my mom passed away from liver cancer in 1999, she never had a fighting chance. She never had the opportunity to have this support. So to watch this and see your parents support her, was was so neat!
On a happier note, We'll be seeing you guys at CVX Live! We're volunteering!
Peggy pig
The last bit, just broke my heart. All my prayers are out to all the people with cancer! I know you can fight it! You're strong!!
My dad had stage 3 (almost 4) colon cancer that was spreading and he has been in remission for 12 almost 13 years. Then my grandma (my mom's mom) had I think it was cervical cancer. Her cancer tumor was as big as a beach ball. She was in remission for 15 year before a stroke that lead to an aneurism took her this last November. But medicine has come along away in the last 50+ years. Its come a long way even in my lifetime. And I'll be 18 in October. I'm hopeful for your aunt and I'll keep her in my prayers. This video definitely got the water works going.
I too came here after Sonya's passing. I have teared up from the closeness of this family, while watching the vlogs since her passing. The love is overwhelming. RIP Sonya, your battle is over.
Cancer is such a scary disease but man with support like that a woman can do anything... So amazing!!!
Prayers to your Aunt during her recovery. My dad has had colon cancer for 11+ years and he is still going strong and doing very well so there is hope! The love and support your family shows is amazing and touching to see. Best of luck to all of you!
This made me cry so much , what a great sisther is ur mom ! A lot of blessings for her sisther may god bless them !
Beautiful. This brought tears to my eyes. It seems everyone knows someone fighting a battle with cancer. She is so lucky to have such a wonderful support group. Prayers to yall!
wow this made me cry. I've had so many close people to me affected by cancer, this was so sweet
Came from Bonnies channel and you all look fab.. I had cancer last year and the cancer I had was sarcoma.. I had a big op and radiotherapy every day for 7 weeks and was in hospital for 2 weeks was so hard as I didn't get to see my 3 kids till the end of the last week.. I was 35 when I got told I had cancer deep in my soft tissue.. I am doing better now but the kind of cancer I had has a high chance of it coming back in my lungs but could come back anywhere in my body.. Good luck to everyone that is living with cancer or has some they know with cancer.... Xx
I literally balled in tears. Your mom is truly amazing! "It's just hair" she is a angel. I send my prayers to your family
Such an emotional video. What a loving and supportive family! My dad passed away in 2008 from skin cancer he had gotten from serving overseas so watching this video really hit home for me. Please tell her I will be praying for her! And her family.
Powerful. Thank you for this video. I lost my mother to cancer 6 years ago. Keep the strength and the love.
This is very beautiful!!! My grandma is my best friend and she 10 years ago we got the call saying my grandma had colon cancer. My grandma is the strongest women I know. And we did all the chemo and treatment I stood by her the whole time. She started to lose her hair she didn't want to go out anywhere cause she didn't like people staring at her. So I was in high school still. I went to see her and to take her to lunch and she wouldn't go because her hair. My hair is very thick and is down to my but. I walked in her house to get her and she just keep saying no we will order lunch so you don't have people staring at u. I told her I had a gift and she said you are my gift and when I took my beanie off I was bold she cried but I told her she is going and she couldn't be the only one with no hair! But she kicked cancer but and is still going strong she is now 75!
I love how strong your aunt and her family is. The courage they have, including you guys, is amazing. Your aunt and mom are also so beautiful.
Wow just wow as a parent less woman from a very young age this touched my heart I lost my mum when I was 6yrs and my dad when I was 20yrs both to cancer. Your aunt is a inspiration her strength and faith is unbelievable x
Your aunt has a beautiful soul and high spirits. I hope she pulls through everything just fine. She's lucky to have a wonderful support system. Brought me to tears listening to her story. God Bless.
I cried so much at this! My big sister, my grandad and my uncle have had cancer and this video just meant so much all the support and LOVE in this family is just amazing to watch! So much love to all you guys xxx
Thank you so much for posting this. I lost my grandad to cancer but he wasn't just my grandad he was more like a father to me. This week has been tough on me considering its Father's Day today and I wanted to say thank you so much for showing the bravery that most go through and how family should stick together. I am so proud of yours and Ellie's family!
This is such a beautiful and touching vlog! My mom lost her sister to cancer almost 6 years ago now. My aunt was an amazing lady... She actually *did* breastfeed my older brother when my mom was unable to after a very traumatic birth, having just had her own baby two months before! Yeah, she nursed her daughter and her nephew! I remember you talking with your sister about that a few vlogs ago--that you would breastfeed for each other, if necessary.
Sisterhood is amazing and the love is eternal!
Praying for each of you during this time. I just finished up 6 mos of treatment of ovarian cancer. Heavenly Father will continue to watch over you.
I'm still catching up on all of your vlogs. I started watching last year from the very beginning. I've seen plenty of your touching videos but this one got me. The fact that she didn't have to take that big step alone is wonderful. Hair might only be a superficial part of you but it can be very hard to lose your hair when its beyond your control. So hugs to Ellie's aunt for showing cancer who's boss. And hugs to the entire family for supporting her!
wow... pretty powerful. i watched this laying in my hospital recliner after receiving my fourth round of chemo today. i don't have colon cancer but i have chron's disease, diagnosed two years ago at 15 and this hit home. i have not lost my hair but when i began my infusions and we didn't know how i would react to the drug i had lots of friends, family and loved ones offer to shave their heads with me so i know just how much this meant to aunt Sonja. support in the hard times is crucial. thanks for sharing
Wow such a beautiful and touching thing your mom did for aunt Sonya! Brought tears to my eyes. Both such special women. God bless your family and my prayers are with you all and Sonya.
My grandmother passed away from breast cancer when i was around 6-7 years old and at first I didn't understand what was going on at the funeral. I remember seeing my family crying, and when it was my turn to go see my grandma inside the casket I think I gave her a kiss. I know she looked beautiful. She was a stunning lady. Once we were leaving the funeral home, and I realized my grandma wasnt coming with me, I sat on my knees in the back seat facing the cars behind the car and started crying. I had a short time with my grandma but my memories of her, even though there arent that many, still stay with me.
I wish your aunt and anyone who is going through this the very best. My love goes to all of you and I wish you all the very best. You are all warriors. And I pray to the lord that he stands by your side in this war. I cried quite a lot.
This was so emotional, I cried like a baby, so touching and moving, sending prayers from my little hometown in WV, you guys are so loved.
Just got to the end of the video and balled my eyes out... But not because I was sad, but because it's absolutely amazing the bond all of you have as a family. It just makes my heart warmer than anything else.
This video really made me emotional. I just lost my old Choir teacher to skin cancer. I've also lost my grandma and friend. It's really heart-breaking but they all were loved so much. They did incredible things with their lives and were happy doing it. I wish I could see them again. Im not religious but I like to believe they watch over me. All the love to Aunt Sonya. You're family is wonderful and Im so glad you have them. Stay Strong, you CAN do it
We live in Idaho and my grandmother was 66 and she had cancer I'm 26 and she told me to live strong and don't forget that she will be up there having a good time and she's not suffering any more 💗💗💖💖💙💙💜💜 I send love to everyone who has cancer its hard but u all look beautiful sending love my names not really val its Kelsey sending love from Kelsey my grandmother died December 11,2015 we miss u gram 💖💖💕💕
I'm so moved by your awesome family and how they have supported your aunt. So great to see such love and courage!
I hope your aunt makes a full and quick recovery! This gesture your family did was so heartwarming!
I've been watching your videos for a while now and it's my first time commenting. Congratulations on reaching 300K! I'm excited to be a part of that number and I am sure that many more will join because happiness is contagious and your videos are full of happiness, joy and love! Love, all the way from Portugal!
This video is really touching! My grandmother was said to have breast cancer and she had an operation recently. Hoping for the best and wish your familly all the best.
My Papa who was very close to me when I was a little girl had stomach cancer. He was with me pretty much every day from the moment I was born until he took his last breath when I was five. He had been having stomach issues and weird pain in his stomach and the doctors just kept blowing him off, they went to operate on him to see if they could remove the cancer. By the time they operated the cancer had really took up his whole digestive system, it was very advanced and sadly there was nothing they could do for him. I think he passed about a year after the diagnosis, I still can't believe its been 15 years I miss him so much.
I am so sorry for the Cancer diagnosis. I lost my Dad to stage 4 lung cancer last year. My uncle had colorectal cancer and he fought it and lived pretty well for 6 years. I still believe in miracles and the power of prayer. So I am praying for you and hoping for miracles. God is with you.
As I'm watching this I am quickly moved to tears. This is truly heart warming to see such a supportive family come together like this. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless all of you and you will be in my prayers. Thanks for being so brave 🌼
😭 what a wonderful family! Having a close family member battle with cancer at the moment and one pass recently this hit very close to home. Prayers to your aunt Sonia
So touching! Praying and thinking of her! How special to have a family so close that they sacrifice for one another! ❤️
Watching this just a few days after your sweet aunt has passed, Ellie. I am so sorry for your loss. It's amazing how quickly your babies have grown and you look so different, but still beautiful inside and out! My prayers are with your family at this time.
Aunt Sonya made me cry. One of my very best friends mothers passed away last January to pancreatic cancer. The first time I met her she was in recovery from having a procedure to remove part of her intestines. We grew so close in that very small window of time. Right before I was due to deliver my son she was actually declared NED (no evidence of disease). Only a short time later it had come back worse and spread to more places. The last time I saw her I brought my son who was only 4 months old at that point, I layed him next to her and she smiled. She was on so many pain medications but she still knew who was laying next to her. I know she watches over us every day. She was such a blessing in my life and I am truly glad to have known her even if it was for such a brief period in my life.
I just came across this old video. It made me smile because I recently had to shave my head for brain surgery. Your mom and aunt both look so beautiful. I am so sorry about sweet aunt Sonya, I am just glad you can look back and remember the good times with her through these videos.
This just made me cry so much I've cried so much today. Ellie's mum done something so sweet to support her aunt
My mum is undergoing chemo at the moment and this video really touched me. I hope that, just like your aunt, my mum feels loved throughout the peaks and the troughs.
Sending lots of positive thoughts your way. Xx
This is the reason that Ellie and Jared are my absolute favorite RUclipsrs-it's real life. They share the laughter, the fun, the pain and sorrows. They grasp life and hold it tight, they live everyday to the fullest and know there is nothing more important than family. Seeing the love that Ellie's family has for one another is absolutely honest, heartfelt and raw and I am constantly moved to tears. #kickingcancersbutt #familybonds
Prayers are with you Sonja, it hit close to home my grandmother six years ago had lung cancer and it was agreessive and it hit home of how much hope Sonja you are giving to all cancer suffers. She passed away six years ago, so brave of you guys to shave ya'lls head! Big love from Australia!
My dad was just diagnosed with colon cancer. He had surgery last week. He has stage 2 as of now and after the PET scan we will know more. I will pray for you all as I pray for my dad.
This end of this vlog brought me to tears. I lost my grandma 23 years ago when I was 7 1/2 to Ovarian Cancer. I miss her dearly. I wish Aunt Sonya the best of luck and God's blessings that she beats this cancer!
Made me cry so very touching watching todays vlog your Aunt is in my prayers everyday, I had cervical cancer and I've been cancer free for almost 13 years god bless your family!!!
This made me cry. I hope Ellie's Aunt beats Cancer!! Prayers for her, she's so strong. It was awesome seeing them all cut their hair.
Just beautiful! Made me tear up only because the love and support your aunt has from your family is just amazing!!
I cried though the head shaving! God bless your Aunt Sonya, Ellie!
All the love in the world to Matt and Em and also to your Aunt. With a support system as strong as your family, they can get through anything!!!
Omg legit in tears when they were shaving their heads and Sonia was talking about it
Fighter ❤️❤️❤️
This was so sweet!!! I was thinking of shaving my head a while back for Talia Castellano, and I just didn't have the guts to. Sonja is so brave and will get through this. And not to mention she has a beautiful voice!!! Praying for you guys!!!
sad music.. cue the tears! So special! I love the support your family gives throughout all of your family. I hope one day i can be like you guys! Praying for Aunt Sonya!!
God bless your aunt & may there be prayers with her every minute of everyday. I cried like a baby watching this. Such a touching moment. Was so beautiful. Everyone looks wonderful!
Wow....did not expect a video like that, and to hear Ellie's grandmother passed away from Multiple Myeloma felt like a dagger to my heart, 11 months ago we said goodbye to my dad who had the same cancer, he battled it for 11 years. Love you dad xoxo
i lost my mom to cancer 3 years ago. Your aunt is super lucky to have an awesome support system. she is in our thoughts and prayer. STICKING IT TO CANCER! you can beat this!
Beautiful Aunt Sonia! She is now with our Heavenly Father watching over all her loved ones. You guys are all such a beautiful supportive family!
THIS is why I love you guys so much. Prayers going up for your aunt, Ellie. As well as all of your family. Your brother and sister in law too, Jared! ❤️
omg I have the chills. recently my mom got diagnosed with colon cancer. everything that your moms sister said was exactly what my mom felt. (stomachaches) my mom now has been losing a ton of hair. this really sparked something in my heart. for anyone going through something like this, always know you have so much people that love and care for you. Ellie and Jared, i would really appreciate it if you replied :)
What a beautiful thing for your family to do! Your aunt has gorgeous eyes, and believe it or not, losing her hair has really made them shine. My prayers are with your Aunt as she goes through this journey.
They look beautiful! My grandmother passed from cancer back in 2007 and I miss her every day. Prayers
Sonya's little monologue was so sweet it made me cry. I hope she'll be okay xxx 😥💕💕
My Grandma battled cancer for 3 1/2 years before losing her battle and losing all her hair is what she was the most afraid of. I offered many times to shave my hair off and give it to her as a wig but she always told me if I ever cut my hair she would be upset with me. What a great group of supporter she has behind her. Im supporting and rooting for you. Stay Strong.
-With love from California
Thank you so much for sharing your family with us and what your aunt is going through. Prayers for your Aunt and your family. Awesome and amazing love that your family has showed. Tears are flowing from all the love that was just shared.
I've just come across your vlogs and so far 3 or 4 of them have had me in tears. this is extremely beautiful
I give you all so much props for doing that. cancer truly does suck. I've wanted to shave my head for a while for cancer but never have the guts to do it. I've had my fair share of encounters with cancer, not personally, but through family members, and to watch a family member basically deteriorate right before your eyes is probably the hardest thing ive ever had to do and I would never wish it upon anyone. ellie you guys are very lucky that your grandma was able to fight for so long and that your aunt has such a fighting spirit. I had to watch the fight slowly fade away from my grandma in a mere 6 weeks before she lost her battle, and then again 10 years later had to watch the fight slowly fade away in my grandpa for a 6 week battle before he was taken. When it comes to anything, not just cancer, you never know when the last moment together will be. as cullen has said in his vlogs before "we live in a life of uncertainty, things can change in the blink of an eye." so I urge everyone to hug their parents, their aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, tell them you love them, and keep them close to your hearts. If your not talking to relatives, make up, no fight will ever be worth the heart ache you feel when their gone, the pain of not being able to say goodbye. I live with that pain every single day and it does not get any better. I never got to say goodbye to 3 out of 4 of my grandparents and it kills me each and every day. with 2 out of 4 grandparents i said the same thing, I'll go visit them tomorrow, i'm too tired.. little did I know that night would be their last and I lost my chance to say goodbye one last time. I wish every single day that I could have my grandparents back for just one more day to hug them and tell them I love them and say goodbye to them one more time. I wish every day that I could re-do those days and spend every waking moment with them that I could just so I could have some closure. So really I do urge everyone out there this holiday season, and every other time of the year to keep your family as close as possible bc you never know whats in store and what could happen.
I have been watching you guys for a few months but I've never commented before. Seeing Ellie's Mom shave her head with her sister was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. You guys ALL seem to be such genuinely good people.
I so very rarely cry but this video did it I'm am so proud of all of you for fighting and staying strong through this. My grandpa recently had cancer almost a year ago and what was crazy about that was he kept it from even his wife and we didn't know until it got to the point where he couldn't hide it. It is just so amazing what you feel when someone you love is going through cancer but it's even better when your family and close friends support you and stand up for you. I'm so sorry but believe you will make it because you are such an amazing person. And incredibly beautiful no matter what. I'm sending prayers to you now and everyone in heaven that you know is standing by your side through this whole journey. I love and support you. And remember you are AMAZING and a ROLE MODEL to all those who love you. 😘😘😭😭😰
BALLING MY EYES OUT. I said a little prayer to HF. Hope you feel the love yall
Give your Auntie big hugs and tell her that she's got a prayer warrior from Minneapolis Minnesota! God Bless!
