About Johnny's Journey
Written by Lisa Barcelowsky on Go Fund Me
So many of us have been following Johnny and his family on his battle with leukemia. We’ve seen the ups and the downs. The good times and the bad times. As a close family friend I have witnessed the struggles this family has gone through over the years. Johnny losing his father several years ago and his mom battling breast cancer. Then for him to be in the fight of his life with leukemia for over 2 1/2 years. Finally ending treatment 2 months ago allowing him to be a normal 17 year old as he should. Getting his drivers license, playing football and becoming an uncle. Johnny has always been humbled by his experiences. A pillar in his community always looking for ways to give back. Recently over the summer on a 10 day mission trip to LA to help the homeless ❤️.
As most of you know, earlier this week Johnny relapsed. His map of treatment is much different. In the next 2 months he will have intense chemotherapy daily in Morristown to get him back into remission then have a bone marrow transplant in Philadelphia sometime early next year. The family will need to relocate to Philadelphia for an unforeseen amount of time. Making it impossible for Yvonne to continue working. First I’m asking for all to pray for this young man.
