Dear family and friends, As you may know our sister Esmeralda Carson’s battle with Cancer has caused extreme economic hardship for her and her family. We planned for a beautiful benefit where Frankie’s band and our children would have performed but but then a global pandemic hit. Our sister bravely fought cancer—head on—but incurred a hefty debt of nearly $100k in medical and other expenses. Unfortunately she has not been able to return to work and our fundraiser is long overdue. This week she has over $3000 in outstanding that must be paid tomorrow. Our hope is that our community may lend some assistance. We know that it takes a village and sometimes we need to lean on our family and friends for support. It is that time now and we hope that you may be able to lend some assistance.
