Xavier Schmitt, grandson of Debbie and Chuck Rodriguez, has been the happy recipient of a wide series of Legos building kits to keep him occupied as he undergoes a lengthy, difficult regimen of chemotherapy for leukemia.

Debbie reports that Xavier sends his thanks from Connecticut after completing his latest Legos project — the futuristic fighter plane shown above — while he was in clinic.

Xavier now is in remission and out of the hospital, and, says Debbie, “The plan is for him to return to school in September. He also told me he would like to visit Rotary some day. Thank you to all for your support during this difficult time.”

And, of course, little brother Cole also says thank you for the Legos kits he received from our club as part of a project conceived by Jim Leyhane.

Thanks to all the individual SRC club members who have contributed financially to the effort.
