Help us keep saving lives! Childhood cancer

At Casa de la Amistad, we know that 2020 has been a complicated year for everyone, with losses, changes and many challenges; however, something that we have not lost is the desire to continue helping in the fight against Childhood Cancer.

In Casa de la Amistad, we are very grateful for your support and wanted to share with you some of our insights:

• Childhood Cancer is the leading cause of death due to illness in children among 5 to 14 years.
• In Mexico the survival rate oscillates between 30% and 60%.

In 30 years of history, Casa de la Amistad has supported:
