Joe has been through 5 different
treatments…  IVIG, Atgam
Cyclosporine, Bone Marrow Transplant, Rituxan & Stem Cell Infusion.  None of these have worked because he has
encountered major graph failure.  Now Joe
is on the Bone Marrow list in search of a unrelated matched donor, to try to
save is life with another transplant.

Joe cannot work or be in any
environment that puts his immune system in jeopardy.  He has a wife, a 6 year old daughter and a

his family!
