Give Life to Mexican Children with Cancer

"I was diagnosed with cancer on October 2, 2017 at the Hospital Infantil de México.

After 9 months of chemotherapy, they decided to give me a bone marrow transplant, and then they sent me to Casa de la Amistad to shelter me since my house was not suitable for me to live there.

I thank you very much for all the support that Casa de la Amistad gives me and for my medicines, food, shelter and all the services you provide, as well as the transportation support, which allow me to go to the hospitals and my home to continue with my treatment.

Keep getting many smiles from these little angels.

Thanks a lot!"
