Help for Esai

Hi guys , my name is Lili . On March 11th , my

friend Erica received a call that is a mother’s worst fear . Her 16 year old son Esai Castillo had been assaulted at gun point which resulted in life threatening injuries. After struggling to get help , and suffering severe blood loss , he was transported to a local hospital where he underwent emergency surgery. Luckily the trauma team was able to stabilize him and save his life. His prognosis looks good however he did suffer damage to vital organs including his stomach and liver. He is currently not able to eat solid foods and is receiving nutrition from a feeding tube until these lacerations heal . His road to recovery will be long . I am reaching out to friends, family and the community to help Esai and his mom who is my good friend of almost 16 years . Funds would help Erica with medical expenses , transportation, and food due to her loss of work hours as she is at his bedside. Anything would be a blessing to them during this hard time . Thank you.
