Providing Farewells for Children with Cancer

Sometimes, our mission brings not only joy and hope, but also deep sorrow and reflection. In recent weeks, we had to say goodbye to one of our beloved children, Andrés, a brave little soul who had fought valiantly against cancer. Tragedy struck doubly hard when his father—his constant caregiver—also passed away shortly after due to a hospital-acquired infection.

This heartbreaking loss reminds us of the silent battles fought not only by the children, but also by the families who stand beside them day and night. Andrés and his dad were inseparable. His father rarely left his side, often sleeping on hospital chairs and skipping meals just to be near his son. Their bond was a testament to unconditional love.

Thanks to your support, we were able to accompany their family with emotional and logistical assistance, covering part of the funeral expenses, and ensuring a respectful farewell surrounded by community and dignity. We also provided grief support to Andrés’ mother and siblings, who now face the road ahead with immense courage.

Even in loss, your donations bring light—helping us honor lives, support grieving families, and reaffirm our commitment to being there, especially in the hardest moments. Thank you for standing with us, not only in celebration, but also in mourning.
