AID TO FAMILIES OF CHILDREN WITH CANCER
“Broken crayons still color.” These children just don’t give up!
Alanna was born in 2016. She has acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. It affects the white blood cells and limits her body to fight disease. Her father does not make enough money to pay for Alanna and her mom to travel to the hospital in Guadalajara for the treatment she needs or for her special diet.
Monse lost her eyesight to cancer when she was a baby. Now she is a lively teenager, attending the University of Guadalajara’s campus in Puerto Vallarta and studying to be a teacher. She also competes in Mexico’s Special Olympics in swimming and track. AFCC recently provided her with two new prostheses for her eyes.
Regina was born in 2014 and is a twin. She has a malignant brain tumour that is too close to the brain to operate. She and her mom will need to travel to Guadalajara twice a month for the next five years. Five years! Treatment costs are $7000 pesos/month.
AFCC provides travel support and monthly despensas of food, supplements and diapers, for more than 20 families each month.
