Play Center for 82 children with cancer in Mexico

Happy new year everyone!

Last year wascrazy in so many ways, here at the clinic we did our best to help the children and make sure they were safe even  during the hardest times.

Our playcenter had to be closed a couple times because of covid, but that didn't stop us. We needed to figure out some new ways to make the children's stay at the hospital still enjoyable. Rememeber they are here for chemo and they have to travel long distances to get here, so for the most part, is a very exhausting experience. That's why it's so important that we give them something to look forward to. Even though our playcenter was not fully operating throughout this year, we organized games, let them take home some toyr and board games, gave away books, and also helped to make sure the clinic was covid safe and clean.

We also donated paint so the families could paint their homes, an donated cleaning articles and face masks, hand sanitizer, and gloves. When times are hard, there's this urge to help more, and thanks to everyone who helped this year we got through it and we are looking forward to see what the next one brings, I'm sure with the help of our community thare's nothing we can't do

It's been a hard year for everyone, We at the hospital have been trying to make the long hours our children spend there a little more enjoyable. Our playcenter had to be closed because of the pandemic, but we are still trying to help the kids and the family have the best time possible at the hospital. 

Emotional support is very important for everyone going through a hard medical treatment, keeping the mind alive, letting the kids play and run around laughing, organizing game times, creating workshops, all of those things we do help to keep everyone in a better mental and emotional place, and that directly improves their responses to their treatment. 

During these last months we have been struggling with the pandemic effects like evryone else, but we have our purpose very clear and that's what keeps us going even in the darkest times. Thanks to people like you and people around us who keep on donating and supporting us, we have been able to keep helping these kids and their families.

Thank you so much everyone, We hope you're doing well and staying safe.
