Help Josie and Jose Fight Cancer Together ❤️

Life can change in an instant. On September 13th, Josie and her husband Jose Ocasio received the devastating news that Jose has been diagnosed with Myeloma, a type of cancer that affects the bone marrow. In that moment, their world turned upside down.

Jose has always been a pillar of strength — a kind, hardworking man with a heart full of love for his family and community. But since his diagnosis, he’s been unable to work while undergoing treatment, and the physical toll has been immense. Even through his pain, Jose keeps a brave face, determined to fight this battle with courage and hope.

Josie, his wife, has been holding everything together on her own. She works tirelessly to support their household, juggling the emotional weight of her husband’s illness with the financial reality of being their only source of income. On top of her regular job, she spends every weekend selling pinchos to raise extra money for Jose’s medical expenses — doing everything she can to keep them afloat.

Josie has always been the kind of person who gives back — helping neighbors, donating to others in need, and lifting up her community without ever expecting anything in return. Now, it’s our turn to lift her up.

The cost of Jose’s medications and treatments is overwhelming, and they’re struggling to keep up with daily expenses while managing this unexpected medical crisis. Despite their strength and resilience, they need help to ease this burden.

By contributing to this fundraiser, you’ll help cover:

• Essential medications and treatment costs

• Living expenses while Jose is unable to work

• The financial stress that weighs on Josie, so she can focus on caring for her husband ❤️

No amount is too small — every dollar brings them closer to stability, relief, and hope. Even if you can’t donate, sharing their story makes a huge difference.

Thank you for standing with Josie and Jose during this difficult time. Your support means the world to them. ✨
