Luis’s Story
Luis battled Ewing-Sarcoma bravely for four years.
Luis had a long battle and hard journey since being diagnosed with Ewing-Sarcoma at the age of 15. Four years of commuting to Charlottesville had really become an issue. After getting chemotherapy, Luis did not feel well and traveling over two hours back to Winchester was the last thing wanted to do.
Yellow Door lodged Luis and his family in the Baer-Hart House for 82 days allowing Luis to rest and regain strength after his treatments.
Sadly, Luis lost his battle with Ewing-Sarcoma on August 26, 2018. Our hearts are broken for the family of this wonderful young man.
“The YELLOW DOOR FOUNDATION has been a blessing to our family. Now when Luis goes to UVA for treatment, we can go to the apartment and rest until he feels good enough to travel back home. We are tremendously thankful to the YELLOW DOOR FOUNDATION and all the people that make this possible – for giving out this helping hand to us and to all those families that are going through a hard time with their loved ones. Thank you very much and God bless.”
