UPDATE 2:

Hi everyone!

I am Juaquin’s fiancee. Once again I would like to thank those who have donated and prayed for us.

This has been one big adventure rollercoaster and it is not over yet. The side effects from chemotherapy is also taking a toll on his left leg primarily on his left foot making it difficult to walk without a walker or cane. Everyday he is trying his best to regain strength in his foot with the help of physical therapy. He has not been able to work since he was first diagnosed. As Juaquin continue to fight his battle, we are starting to face financial difficulties with medical bills increasing.

While we are facing these challenges there is one good news. We have a match for the bone marrow transplant!

Once again I am asking for help whether it be donation, prayers, and sharing this page. All are appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

With thanks and appreciation,

Linda

UPDATE:

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much to those of you who have already donated and supported us. We recently received a diagnosis for my brothers condition, he has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. He has already begun chemotherapy, which includes frequent treatments to both his heart and spinal cord.

At this stage, he is finishing his first half-cycle of treatment and, unfortunately, is unable to have many visitors due to the risk of infection from his low white blood cell count. This is a very difficult time for him as well as our family as we are trying our best to help him get through this.

We are truly grateful for any help, whether it’s through donations or prayers. Your support means the world to us during this challenging time.

If you're interested in becoming a donor and potentially helping save Juaquin’s life, please visit Bethematch.org They will test your DNA to see if you could be a potential match for a stem cell transplant.

With heartfelt thanks,

Joseph Perez

Hello, my name is Joseph Perez, and I’m reaching out to you today with a heartfelt request to help my brother Juaquin. Last week, Juaquin collapsed at work and required immediate medical assistance. He was rushed to the hospital where doctors discovered his hemoglobin levels were dangerously low—scoring a 5 out of 14, with the minimum safe level being 7.

To stabilize his condition, Juaquin has undergone multiple blood transfusions. However, doctors are unable to pinpoint the cause of his condition until they perform a bone marrow biopsy. Unfortunately, the facility he is currently at doesn’t have the necessary equipment for the procedure, and we’ve been waiting for over a week to transfer him to a hospital that does. Until the transfer happens, Juaquin must remain in the hospital, continuing his transfusions and receiving constant care.

In the meantime, the doctors have confirmed that Juaquin is lacking neutrophils, a type of white blood cell that helps the body fight infections. This condition, known as neutropenia, means Juaquin is extremely vulnerable to illness and unable to leave his room, with visitation from family and friends severely limited to reduce the risk of infection.

The financial burden of this medical situation is growing, and I am humbly asking for your support to help cover the costs of his ongoing treatment, blood transfusions, hospital stay, and the upcoming procedure. Every dollar brings me one step closer to helping Juaquin through this difficult time, and every share spreads the word to others who may be able to help.

Your kindness, no matter the size, will make an incredible difference in Juaquin’s fight. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read his story and for considering a donation. Your support means everything to us, and we are truly grateful for your generosity during this challenging time.

With gratitude,

Joseph Perez
