We the Casillas family, Me and my brothers are raising funds for someone so important in our life—which is my uncle Juan Flores aka known as “El Pollo.” My uncle, as many people have known, is a huge soccer fanatic and has lived his entire life living, breathing, preaching, and playing soccer. He’s played for our community in Lexington a great part of his life. Up until a little over a year ago, he decided to return to his homeland voluntarily in Mexico. Prior to leaving, he had some injuries while playing but thought they were nothing serious. He has recently been told that due to playing continuously even while injured, he has developed severe arthritis. This is now affecting his daily life to which he now needs surgery. This surgery would greatly benefit him as the arthritis has gotten very painful to which his bones have lost the majority of cartilage and now has bone to bone contact. This is not an emergent surgery by any means and we would greatly appreciate any support his friends and the community could provide. My uncle has always been involved in some way within the soccer community, so anyone who knows him and everything he stands for knows the kind of person he is and represents.

Nosotros La Familia Casillas. Yo y mis hermanos estamos recaudando fondos para alguien muy importante en nuestras vidas: mi tío Juan Flores, también conocido como "El Pollo". Mi tío, como muchos saben, es un gran fanático del fútbol y ha vivido toda su vida viviendo, respirando, predicando y jugando fútbol. Ha jugado para nuestra comunidad en Lexington una gran parte de su vida. Hasta hace poco más de un año, decidió regresar a su tierra natal voluntariamente en México. Antes de irse, tuvo algunas lesiones mientras jugaba, pero pensó que no eran nada graves. Recientemente le dijeron que debido a jugar continuamente, incluso lesionado, ha desarrollado una artritis severa. Esto

ahora está afectando su vida diaria, por lo que ahora necesita cirugía. Esta cirugía lo beneficiaría enormemente, ya que la artritis se ha vuelto muy dolorosa, por lo que sus huesos han perdido la mayor parte del cartílago y ahora tienen contacto hueso con hueso. Esta no es una cirugía de emergencia de ninguna manera y agradeceríamos mucho cualquier apoyo de sus amigos o de la comunidad que pudieran brindarle. Mi tío siempre estuvo involucrado de alguna manera dentro de la comunidad del fútbol, ​​por lo que cualquiera que lo conoce sabe el tipo de persona que es y lo que representa.
