Spanish Lakes Elementary School
This is a school very close and dear to our hearts, as it is where ‘Willy’ attended. His loving, caring and nurturing personality never went unnoticed, thus we work with the school to create programs that will cultivate and reward these qualities in all children.
In memory of Willy
This non-profit organization started from a calling put in our hearts by God as a way to honor the legacy of our younger son, our charming, loving, smart, kind and patient little boy William Luis Castro, ‘Willy’.
William ‘Willy’, lost his life at the age of 10 in a tragic car accident in November 2016. Although his time on this earth was short, he marked the lives of so many people, while on earth and after going to heaven.

Our hope is to impact all the lives of children in our community and assist them in cultivating good values and qualities that will help them in the future
