Letter From Watsonville Police Chief Manny Solano

Dear Community,

Thank you so much for the outpouring of love and support. My family and I are just one of many that have had their lives turned upside down with a diagnosis of cancer, in my case myeloma. 

The day I was given the news of my illness, I had a chance encounter at Jacob’s Heart and received comfort and resources that helped me understand the long road ahead. At the same time, I learned of the many children locally who are facing similar circumstances, 2 yr old Elizabeth “Effy” Watson being one of them. 

I’m so glad that we have Jacob’s Heart who is here to help these children and their families who are struggling to navigate this overwhelming but winnable journey. While I may not fit their age profile, Jacob’s Heart was there for me in the time of need and now I ask that you join me in supporting them so they can help others. 

For more information, please contact:

Thank you and keep on believing! 

Manny Solano

Watsonville Chief of Police
