Send a link to a friend

[NOV. 25, 2005]  Sara Estes, 24, is in a battle for her life against cancer. She is the daughter-in-law of a Lincoln couple, Paul and Sue Estes. She is also the sister of Lincoln resident Sheralyn Bolton, who is married to Brian. Sara and her husband, Tim, live in Streator.

Estes has endothelial carcinoma, a cancer of the blood vessels. Treatment has been rigorous and extremely expensive. Medical bills have mounted to over $40,000 in less than eight months.

Family and friends have put together opportunities to help with the financial burden. They also ask for your prayers.

A dinner, fundraiser and silent auction is set to take place in Streator on Saturday. The event will be from 4:30 to 11 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus, 806 Oakley Ave. in Streator.

Activities:

  • Spaghetti dinner
  • Drawdown
  • Trivia
  • Texas hold'em
  • Silent auction
