Thanks to your contribution, the youth program inspires dreams and life!
We love that you continue to contribute with our cause. Your contribution allows that Colombian Foundation of Leukemia and Lymphoma give hope and joy in every encounter that we have with a young with cancer. With your donation, you increase the chances of young people being cared and listened by a willing and warm professional staff.
In our meetings, we have the opportunity to talk with youngs and learn about their fears, joys and dreams; It is a wonderful opportunity to encourage them to move forward with their lives despite the diagnosis.
Juan received a diagnosis of osteosarcoma, and because of this he suffered the amputation of his left leg, nevertheless his love for football helped him recover. He had the great opportunity to meet Messi, one of the most famous players in the world and this meeting motivated him to move forward. On the other hand, Lina is a professional dancer and her love for dance gave her strength to achieve an amazing recovery and resume her activities helping other patients to express their emotions, also through dance.
Maria, despite the diagnosis of Leukemia, had the opportunity to travel to Mexico and meet her favorite youtuber.
These are just some of the stories we know in Funcolombiana and that fill us with enthusiasm to continue working with and for them.
