My father, Mike Escalante, has been diagnosed with a rare, quickly spreading sarcoma (cancer) and will be at Duke in Durham for treatment.  This treatment will begin as soon as possible involving radiation followed by chemotherapy.  He and my mother need to stay in Durham Sunday through Friday for several months.  This funding is needed to house them, feed them, and get them to and fro during this time.  Anything given will be received with much gratitude.  Thank you for current prayers and the many more that will be pouring in.
