    " To the family of Concha, prayers are with the family. I am hoping that someone from the Altamirano family will read this post. My little brother David(21) is the son of Sergio Altamirano. David has been trying for quite some time to reach his father whom he has not met. If anyone can please help us get in contact with Sergio so that David can meet him that would help us so much. Thanks. "
