Ponciano Castillo also known to his friends and family as ‘Ponce’ has been married for 37 years to his wife Estela Castillo. A grandfather of 6 who is loved and cherished by many family and friends alike. However, for the last 6 years his health has been slowly diminishing since being diagnosed with renal failure. While he continues to struggle with this the damaging affects of this disease he has recently begun daily dialysis to help clean his blood as his kidneys can no longer keep up. Although he is on a waiting list to receive a kidney it could take many years. In the waiting process damage his body and health even more than what it has already.
