Hi my name is Julie. My sister, Dayna Quinn-Castillo, just lost her husband of 31 years and now must rebuild her life. Jerry Castillo, an actor in film, TV and stage, as well as a stage director, died Thursday, May 4th at the age of 90. For those of you who know Dayna and Jerry, you know that the love they shared was special.

A man who never looked anything close to his age, Jerry had several serious health conditions in his later years, including a loss of short-term memory. He could not be left alone and Dayna cared for him full-time. Unable to work due to caretaking and her physical disability, they relied solely on his retirement. It will take two to three months before she will get any of this income now that he is gone. She needs time to settle affairs and find work she can do from home. To help her through this, I am hoping to raise the money she needs to keep her home and pay for a memorial service and other expenses during this very difficult time.

All her life, Dayna has been there for others when they needed help most. She would give her last dime to a friend or family member in need, care for loved ones and friends in their final days, or offer a shoulder to lean and cry on. Now, on her behalf, I am asking for help for her. Anything you can give is greatly appreciated.

Jerry's 90th Birthday, December 23, 2022
