Join Us to Help Our Friend Jose Castillo

[Dave Smith]

Tough news from Jeff Miller at Miller’s Custom Painting. Jeff’s lead shop hand Jose Castillo (42) has been diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. It has metastasized to the liver, and he needs our help.

Jose and Jeff at Miller’s Customs have painted a jaw-dropping 680 Factory Fives in 25+ years! Jose is one of ours in the Factory Five community, and I am asking for your help to raise money for him and his family.

Even if you've never met Jose or Jeff consider making a donation as payback for all of the sage advice and entertainment the House of Bat has provided here and elsewhere.

Jeff Miller called me after he got the news and we've talked several times since. I know how hard it has hit him; not in the shop but in his heart. We're all one big family here you know, and family takes care of family.

Here's my deal and request to any of my current and upcoming customers...I'll deduct the amount of your donation from your final invoice up to $200

I'm willing to treat that first $200 as "seed money" and will absorb it (you're gonna' get it back in the end) and challenge you, my customers, to donate beyond---Please.

Done! Great idea Jeff!!! Hope you don’t mind that I will match your offer. Any of my customers want to donate up to $200, I will credit your bill for that much. You got this Jose!

Thanks,

Henry

Jeff K,

I will take you up on your offer. I am new to the FF5 family and hope to be a future customer of yours. I lost my dad in 2017 to the exact same thing Jose is battling. Jose, if you read this, know that we are praying for you and your family, and always remember God will be there with you in the storms.

$100.00 has been added to the cause from Mr. & Mrs. Go-Dad.
We'll be praying for Jose and his family.

Jose:
Thanks for the kind way you treated someone like me ignorant about how to prep a car. I appreciated what you showed and explained to me as well as the great quality of your work. We are wishing the best for you and keeping you and your family in our prayers.
