Star Wars Fans & Stars Support Baby Leah

Posted By Mike on July 6, 2011

Four month old baby Leah of California has been stricken with a mystery illness that has been causing her to have seizures and suffer breathing problems. Bills are mounting for parents Zev and Francesca Esquenazi who have enough to worry about already in regards to their daughter's health.

Well it seems as if the loving parents are Star Wars fans and fellow Star Wars fans and actors have stepped up to the plate to help out a family in need. Peter Mayhew (Chewbacca in the films) and Stephen Stanton (TCW voice of Tarkin) have both made donations and folks such as Steve Sansweet are doing what they can to raise awareness for the family's plight. Check out the video below courtesy of CNN.

If you'd like to learn more about Leah or if you'd like to help, click on the links provided below. We wish Leah and her family all the best as they continue to search for medical and financial remedies.
