Support 430 children with cancer in Colombia!

With your contribution, we can help more children with cancer! 

Cancer not only brings physical changes to a child's life, but also emotional, social, economic, and professional changes for their family. These changes require adjustments and adaptation that often generate individual and family tensions. To help families cope with these changes, our psychologists listen and support them, and to help with the stress and uncertainty that are normal in these processes, we offer wellness sessions. This is how we have created spaces to carry out laughter therapy sessions, in which volunteer artists visit the rooms of hospitalized children and young people to entertain, connect with emotions, hug, and laugh.

 Luciana is a 10-year-old girl, diagnosed with acute leukemia, who has enjoyed these visits because, as she says, "When the clown comes, I feel better and I forget the pain." Her mother, in turn, is grateful to see her daughter laugh even in the midst of the illness, the treatment, and the sadness of being away from her home and family.

We want to continue bringing more laughter therapy sessions to hospitalized children to contribute to their well-being.

Spending Christmas in the hospital isn't easy. Children want to be home and share time with their families, away from the worries about their health. At the Foundation, we know how challenging this is for parents too, which is why we provide support and various activities aimed at improving the emotional well-being of children and families. Ema is 8 years old and was diagnosed with acute leukemia. She and her mother love Christmas, and this year, for the first time, they had to experience it away from home because of her treatment. Our psycho-oncologist, Daniela, brought materials and got to work with Ema to make a Christmas tree out of recycled materials. Every morning, Ema woke up motivated to finish her tree, which strengthened her bond with the psychologist, as well as with her parents and her doctor, since it increased verbal communication and interaction with everyone. The result made Ema very happy; having her own finished tree made her think that this Christmas would be different, but not necessarily sad.
