Help Joe and family through relapse

Donation protected
My husband, Joe Ellis, has been fighting Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (precursor b) since June of 2017. After an intense six month regiment of chemotherapy he received a stem cell transplant in February 2018. After major complications due to the conditioning treatment of the transplant and several months of rest he was on the road to recovery (with a new job offer). He’s been slowing down these past few weeks and this past Tuesday we found out why:  recurrence of the ALL. A sample taken from his bone marrow showed 76/100 cells  sampled were blasts. The Leukemia has returned with a vengeance. He was admitted on August 15, 2018 for a two week inpatient stay where they will try a drug that has only recently been approved by the FDA (and is one of the most expensive on the market) it’s called Blinatumomob and it will be administered to him 24 hours a day for the next one-four months. He will be hospitalized for several weeks before returning home to continue with the medicine with home infusion.  I am his wife, my name is Stacy. We have two young children who will be entering kindergarten in the next two weeks. As his sole caregiver I have been unable to work. I have always been a good hustler but this is much bigger than I am and we need help. Thank you.
