Part of The Rocket Family needs your help...


Eddie Martinez, Jr. Is a 26 year old young man who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, on February 11, 2009.

Since his diagnosis, Eddie has endured intense cycles of chemotherapy with a month long stay’s at the hospital. We were praying for the chemotherapy to be a success, unfortunately it was not and now he must undergo a stem cell transplant.

Eddie’s insurance is denying him coverage for this life saving procedure, forcing him to not only fight for his life, but also raise enough funds to save his life.

Eddie is a smart, compassionate person, with a pleasant demeanor; he loves his family and greatly enjoys working with and helping people in need. He has a sharp sense of humor, and is adored by his family.

He is a hard working young man who has been employed since he was 13, and has always exhibited a great work ethic. At the time of his diagnosis, he was in the process of changing employment and was excited about the new job offered to him. Unfortunately, his illness prevented him from beginning his new job, therefore leaving him without income.

His family and friends are trying to help Eddie get the care he deserves and save his life.

If you could please find it in your hearts to help this very special young man, we would greatly appreciate it.
