A couple of months ago on the Facebook wall of the Aladina Foundation its director, Paco Arango, told the story of the wonderful and supportive gesture of his admired friend Nerea, in the image. And it is that Nerea, at 11, makes incredible bracelets and decided that he would sell them to raise money. Paco explained that at that age the possibility of getting 50 euros for the work done is a great treasure and you usually think of buying a lot of things and very varied. The key is that Nerea wanted to contribute buying material for the teenage room of Child Jesus Hospital of Madrid and asked the Aladina Foundation what was needed. No parents or doctors can enter the room, only teenagers and volunteers.
In the room sick teenagers isolate themselves and abstract from the routine and monotony of the Hospital so Any leisure and entertainment material is welcome. In this case Nerea was presented with the articles that are seen in the image: paintings, board games and colored pencils among many others. Instead of spending money on material things for her, Nerea was very generous in purchasing items so that sick children never lose their smile.
Every day Paco Arango and the volunteers of the Aladina Foundation live very hard experiences with the children and their families. However, there are always moments of magic, emotions, smiles and this one of Nerea is one of them. Never lose hope and these children show incredible strength and are an example to everyone.
I remember that Aladina Foundation It is a private non-profit organization created in 2005, which provides material, psychological and emotional support to children and adolescents suffering from cancer and their families. The main objective of the foundation is to care for, accompany and clothe children and their families throughout the disease process, and even after it. The important thing is that children never lose the fighting spirit and keep alive the desire to heal.
I also recommend take a regular look at your social media activity where they always include promotions and call for solidarity so that children with cancer never lose their smile.
