Leo's Recovery Fund

Donation protected
Leonel (Leo) Castillo is a land surveyor by trade. He is the father of two young daughters (Mia & Cadence) who take after their father through a genuine love of the outdoors. He served his country during Operation Desert Storm. After returning home, he settled in the area of Walla Walla, Washington.

On January 10, 2018, Leo was out surveying in Quincy, Washington when a motorist driving a Ford Excursion struck him. He was airlifted to an ICU facility in Seattle, Washington. He suffered two life-threatening injuries including a dislocated skull and blunt force trauma to his head. The head injury caused swelling in his brain and resulted in the partial removal of his skull. He is facing a lifelong recovery and the full extent of Leo’s injuries is still uncertain.

However, we do know that the severity of his injuries and the subsequent recovery will come at a high cost for Leo and his family. It will take more than a surveyor’s salary to fend off future expenses. Leo is currently at Harbor View Hospital in Seattle Washington, and he is admitted under his proper name, Leonel Castillo.

Many of you have contacted us, his family, looking for a way to help. For that reason and given the severity of Leo's injuries, and our distance away from him (we live in Texas, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Connecticut) we have decided to put together a GoFundMe page. We appreciate any size contribution, but also know that your prayers and kind thoughts will be equally important to his recovery.  The funds will be used to help care for Leo in his long recovery, to offset costly medical bills and any rehabilitation needs that he may have. An account has been established for this fund and will be administered by our sister Lilian Castillo de Hutchinson. Funds will be used to pay any expenses that arise for his care and to offset any living expenses due to the accident and his recovery.

Thank you for the support you have given us thus far and for the love you have shown for Leo. If you have any further questions about him or if you would like to stay current with his recovery, let us know and we will include you in future updates.

With thankful hearts,

The Castillo Family
