Joy St. Pierre is in the fight of her life. She has been diagnosed with stage 4 Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), which advanced from her blood disorder, Polycythemia Vera.
Her treatment plan is daunting but gives us hope:
- First, a liver transplant
- Then, a bone marrow transplant
- Finally, a stem cell transplant
Each step comes with its own long recovery period, and each one is unimaginably expensive. On top of this, Joy’s insurance does not cover specialty cancer drugs, which are a critical part of her treatment.
Joy is more than her diagnosis. She is a loving wife and a devoted mother of six children. Right now, her husband Tim is the only one working to support their family while she fights this aggressive cancer. As many of you know, when serious illness strikes, both medical bills and everyday expenses pile up quickly — creating stress at a time when the focus should be on healing.
This fundraiser is to help relieve some of that financial burden: covering essential medications, upcoming procedures, and household needs while Joy undergoes treatment.
