Joe needs to beat Multiple Myeloma

Hello everyone, we are The Rincon Family. You may know my husband Joe Rincon from work, the gym, family, or from church. Joe is known for his love of fishing, he is also an incredible father, husband, brother, son, and friend loved by many. Joe loves his family and has created a solid foundation for us. He is always willing to help other people if he is able to, and now we need your help.
What many people still do not know is that Joe has Multiple Myeloma.


Cancer Diagnosis

After experiencing pain in his side from an old injury Joe decided to go to the doctor, this turned out to be both a life-saving and life-changing decision. After months of blood work, lab tests, and a few scans it was determined that he was severely anemic which meant he needed blood infusions (aka transfusion). Since his blood cell counts were dramatically out of what is considered a normal range, he was referred to an oncologist and a bone marrow biopsy was performed. 

On Wednesday, April 4, 2018, at the age of 46, Joe was diagnosed with End Stage Multiple Myeloma.
80% of his blood was found to be cancerous and he was considered to be a walking miracle! The oncologist didn't understand how Joe could be alive with his levels and cancer so bad. The following Monday he started chemotherapy and has had several rounds and blood infusions since then. 

Sometime in November 2018, Joe will undergo an Autologous Stem Cell Transplant, your donation will help support this necessary transplant and give Joe a longer chance at life.

Our four children desperately need their father, and I have started this campaign in the hopes of casting a larger net, to humbly ask for your help, and to give an avenue of support for those who have asked what they can do.

Any amount you can donate would be deeply appreciated and will go directly to covering many medical related expenses.

*I do ask that if you are able to donate, please do so anonymously*

It would also mean the world to us if you could SHARE this campaign to help spread the word.

With much appreciation,
The Rincon Family
