Jeremiah Gillette, who is a drill instructor with the 2nd Battalion, Recruit Training Regiment at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot in San Diego.

Wyatt was diagnosed with Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome at 4-years-old. The condition led to a number of medical issues including diabetes, seizures, problems with body temperature regulation and cerebral palsy. After spending six weeks in the hospital with kidney failure, Wyatt recently returned home to hospice care.
The family has an online fundraiser to help pay for Wyatt’s medical and funeral expenses. Thus far, donations total more than $27,000, surpassing the original goal of $15,000.
