With the clock ticking, friends of a Barona Resort & Casino employee have launched a bone marrow drive to save his life.
John Robinson, 51, met Lalyn Balina on vacation in the Philippines in 2016 and fell in love. They had a child, a daughter. In April of this year, the two married in the Philippines.
“I knew I was that much closer to having family her with me … a total dream come true,” said Robinson.
Days after the wedding, Robinson came down with flu-like symptoms.
“All my blood counts were super low, so low I couldn’t fly back home,” said Robinson.
