Joe Yannacci

My name is Joe Yannacci, back in 1995 I was diagnosed with MS. My MS is the progressive type and over the last 21 years, it has gotten increasingly worse. I have struggled and fought a long time to retain my independence and mobility but at this point, I must use a cane and wheelchair to get around. My disease has taken away my ability to walk and do the everyday things in life that I immensely enjoy. My main goal is to get back to a normal life!

I am a graduate of Shrewsbury high School and Worcester State College. I relocated to Ft, Myers FLA in 2000 to work in the food and beverage industry and to get my real estate license. With my mobility declining and the real estate market crashing, I was forced to tap into my savings account.

I am not ready for to be under full-time care. Therefore, I need everyone’s help. Through Stem Cell Therapy and Procedures at StemGenex in San Diego, CA, I am praying that I will add years of mobility to my life and possibly even gain some mobility. More than half of the recipients of these procedures see positive results, with some MS patients seeing huge results and gains in mobility. Unfortunately, these treatments are NOT covered by insurance.

To help offset such expenses, a fundraising campaign in Joe’s honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community-based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the Southeast Stem Cell Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only.
