Our hearts were heavy reading the story of little Alexis Castillo. Our young girls and us decided to help financially to the extent we could. Our thoughts and prayers are with Alexis and his family, and we wish all HIS blessings for them.

I know your story only too well. My son was diagnosed with ALL after a liver transplant. No one knew why his bilirubin was so high. Less than a month later he was diagnosed with ALL and started chemo. Unfortunately, his body could not take the beating. A healthy (until all this) 16 year old boy, it was devastating for us, his family and his friends. I will work on what we can contribute to this family. I hope that his bone marrow transplant will do wonders for his health. So many can overcome this, he will be one of them.

My son, Phillip, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (A.L.L) on July 29, 1996, when he was 3 years old. Forward 15 years and Phillip today is a strong, healthy young man in his first year of college and attending on a baseball scholarship. As Alexis’ mother said, “one day your life can change forever”, but their is always hope and those out there ready and willing to help.

I am going to share Alexis’ story with my family and friends and I promise that we will help make this a Merry Christmas for the Castillo family.

Our prayers go out to all of you. God bless.

My son and I were very touched by your story. I see one of the posters has gifted a Sony TV, we can add to that w/ a barely used late model PS2 Slim in the Limited Edition silver edition. We have the original box and packing materials as well as an extra controller. We can also throw in many of the most popular games on that system. If nothing else you could trade some of the games to gamestop for a wrestling game so you have no costs out of your pocket. Also you could trade the whole package up for an XBOX 360 4GB for for very little cost as well. Our family is struggling w/ unemployment and we were going to sell this on Craigslist but we would rather have this go to this ill young man to pass the time when he feels ill from chemo. you can contact me here

My boys and I read the stories in the Palm Beach Post and were most touched by your story. They each gave us $5 of their own money. They are 8 and 10 and want to tell Alexis that they hope he feels better. Our prayers are with you.

Dear CASTILLO family my daughter has a kitchen play set. It is in great shape she is willing to help your little girl for the holidays. It looks new it was used with care. Our family can relate to your situation, and we would like to help your daughter feel special with everything going on.

If the elementary school the girls go to has a Boys Town family specialist working there, they are a wealth of support and information to families such as this. The school guidance counselor can be of help also.
