Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

 We are reaching out to you today to rally around a true hero in need. Rafael Escalona, our beloved Friend, Father, Grandfather, Husband, Brother, and Veteran is beginning his battle against Esophageal Cancer. Rafael has an incredible outlook and is laser focused on his treatment plan looking forward to his next chapter. We are determined to show him the same unwavering support and gratitude he has shown us throughout his life and service in the 101st Airborne, reconnaissance squadron while deployed in Vietnam. 

 Cancer treatment expenses can quickly become overwhelming, often surpassing what insurance covers. The costs associated with Chemotherapy, radiation, surgeries, medications, and ongoing care can create an immense financial strain on the family. Rafael needs to focus on his health and wellbeing, without the added worry of mounting medical bills. Together, lets ensure he receives the vital care he needs while easing the financial burden on him and his family during this challenging time.

 How you can help:

 1. Donate: Any amount you can spare will go directly towards covering Rafael’s medical bills, treatment costs, and any necessary support. Together we can make a substantial impact on his journey to recovery.
 
2. Share: Help us spread the word about this campaign by sharing with family, friends, colleagues, and social networks.

3. Encourage: Kind words of encouragement, thoughts, and prayers can go a long way boosting Rafael’s spirits.

Let’s stand united in support of Rafael, ensuring he has the resources to eliminate the burden of treatment costs. Together, we can make an impact on his life and let him know he is loved, valued, and cherished.

 Thank you for your support and generosity.
