Esmeralda Eastman Castellano

Esmeralda and AJ, true soul mates, married in 2005.  They shared many happy years together before illness entered their lives.  AJ was a severe diabetic and suffered blockages in both carotid arteries.  Esmeralda suffered a heart attack and even after open heart surgery only has a heart function of 30 percent.  Recently both suffered a severe bout of the flu.  Esmeralda and AJ took care if each other even when they felt their worst.  While getting out of bed to get Esmeralda her flu medicine, AJ suffered and massive heart attack leaving Esmeralda alone.  Esmeralda is having difficulty meeting the funeral expenses for AJ.  Esmeralda herself is in poor health and requires a full time caretaker.  Previous medical bills have eroded their savings and she is now in need of assistance from her loving friends.
