Give Joe a Fighting Chance — Help Him Get to Hope4Cancer

Donation protected
We humbly continue to ask for help… we still need you.

On February 11th, Joe went in for a CT scan to check for a kidney stone and thanks to a thorough and inquisitive doctor, they discovered a partially collapsed lung, which led to further testing. Within days, Joe was facing an abnormal PET scan, a biopsy, and finally, the devastating diagnosis of stage 4 small cell lung cancer (neuroendocrine) — an aggressive form of cancer that has already spread to other organs and systems.

Since then, Joe has undergone intensive rounds of chemotherapy with unwavering strength and courage; his wife, Missy, and his three young children driving him forward. He is a warrior in every sense of the word — a true example of resilience and fight. But sadly, for this type and stage of cancer, chemo is not enough — and even more devastating, Joe has been told that his body and this aggressive cancer will eventually become resistant to it.

This is where you come in.

We’re now working to get Joe to Hope4Cancer in Mexico for a 3-week in-patient treatment that offers an integrative approach to healing. Most importantly, this care plan is fully individualized — designed specifically for Joe, his aggressive cancer type, his body, and the treatments he has already undergone. It’s a complete and personalized approach — one that gives him real hope.

The program includes:

  • Daily therapy sessions — including Sono-Photo Dynamic Therapy, Photo Dynamic Therapy, Immunotherapy Protocol, and Antiorbital Ionic Calcium Therapy

  • A private hospital room

  • Transportation to and from the center

  • All meals and assessments

  • A 3-month supply of nutraceuticals and supplements to continue each therapy at home

  • One year of ongoing home support

  • Two follow-up visits to the center

Our donation goal is $60,000 — and this isn’t just a number or an estimate. It’s the actual cost of everything listed above. It’s the cost of Joe’s best chance.

This treatment offers a path forward when traditional methods have run out of answers.

But we can’t do this without you.

Please consider donating, sharing, and standing with Joe as he takes this next brave step in his journey. Every contribution — no matter the size — brings us closer to getting Joe the care he urgently needs.

Thank you for your continued love and support. Let’s get Joe to Hope4Cancer.
