Letters For Luca

Letters For Luca is a nonprofit, charity, 501(c)(3) organization in its very early stages of developm Letters For Luca was born out of an idea that I had.
I had always heard of some people writing letters to loved ones, in some form or fashion, so that formed the basis of what I wanted to do. I planned on writing handwritten letters, at no particular interval, to be sealed and dated for opening at some future point in Luca's life. Becoming a teenager, his first car, graduating High School, going to college, finding the love of his life, and so forth

Team picture from the Phil Berry Annual Golf Tournament in sponsorship to the Southwest Transplant Alliance. It was a great time! Love supporting this organization, donors, recipients, donor families such as ourselves, and especially and foremost the donor heroes like Letters For Luca.
Thanks to my friends Cotton Boales, Cody Waldrop, and Dr. Jesse Nix!

Hello everyone!
Wow….we broke through 500 followers yesterday!
This is amazing! Thank you all so much for following Luca’s story, and following this page for updates!
We haven’t forgotten about our BIGGG (in my best Luca voice) dreams and goals for the foundation. We have been brainstorming ideas to use the donated funds on, and really want to make sure that we are directly impacting a child, or multiple children’s lives.
I haven’t been interested in just blindly donating to a cause, just becasue that wasn’t the intention when I started this. We really want to directly impact lives.
Another recent update:
We have decided to add a 5th member to our Board of Directors! This is Brooke Mitchell Marrs! She is an amazing human first of all. Brooke and her husband, Donnie Marrs, have been 2 of my best and closest friends for 15+ years. Their love and support for us has always been unwavering, especially in our times of need.
Brooke will be a great asset to Letters For Luca. She will help us expand outside of Texas, into my home states of Tennessee and Mississippi, as well as her home state of Arkansas.
See this excellent photo of our friends Brooke and her husband Donnie, at our wedding, and welcome her to the team!

This past Friday was drop-off day for the Adopt-A-Family program at Dallas Children’s Medical Center. The physicians, nurses, and the entire team at Dallas Children’s took amazing care of Luca, and all of us, during those 7 days. They do this day in and day out, for anyone and everyone; one of what has to be the toughest jobs that any human could ever have.
We were happy to be able to adopt not only a child this year, but their whole family. They provided a wish list, and we did our best to make that list come true, and give that family some happiness this year in the face of some tough times.
This is our 2nd year participating as a sponsor, and we were happy to provide for a little 4 year old girl who has neuroblastoma. It has been hard recently for the family as you could imagine. She will be waiting on a bone marrow transplant, in hopes to rid her body of the cancer. She has 2 young siblings, and Mom and Dad love them all very much and both work hard to provide.
It’s always a good feeling to be able to give gifts to a family this time of year in honor of our LucaBoy. We just want to make him proud of us, and we could feel him all the time in the days surrounding the donation. We hope to go on and do many small things for people, but to also start doing some BIGGGG things (in my best Luca voice).
We are just happy to be able to provide some sort of normalcy for this family this year, and we hope and pray for God’s healing for this little girl and her family.
Thank you again, as always, for your support.

Hello everyone!
We received some great news this week. One of the donor recipients that Luca was able to give the gift of life to, reached out to us this week. This particular patient received Luca's big, strong, and loving heart 💙. The patient has been doing very well since receiving Luca's gift. The family also wants to meet us, and we can't be anymore thankful for that. Just wanted to share this great news to you all!
Stay tuned for more updates on this, as well as more giving through Letters For Luca coming up in the near future.
Thank you all so much for your love and support always.
With love,
Chris, Erika, and our LucaAngel
