Supports children with cancer like samuel

By YOLIMA MENDEZ | YOLIMA MENDEZ

Your contribution will allow us to accompany processes like Samuel's!

Samuel is a 3-year-old boy who was diagnosed with a Neuroblastoma in May of 2017. He received treatment in one of the Clinics where the foundation makes art therapy workshops, through these visits the parents were able to contact us. Therefore, they could receive counseling and constant support during the days that the uncertainty.

His parents express that as a family they understood that they shouldn't distrust even if the situations were unfavorable, on the contrary they understood that in those moments it's necessary to fight until achieve the best result. They also learned to value much more the smile of their little one and they understood that they could establish a better relationship with God believing in his presence, because when everything seems to be impossible the faith transforms the difficulties.

However, they recognize that during the whole process there have been difficult moments, they say "sometimes the faith is fractured when the medical report is not the best", during the process of Samuel the doctors told their parents that he diagnosis had made metastasized in his body and he had 6 tumors. They express that the principal sensation is impotence but, although there is an internal fight, motivation and joy must be present because you should never lose strength and courage.

Today Samuel is receiving radiotherapy, he participated as an inspiring testimony in the Third Congress for patients with hemato-oncological diseases, accomplished by foundation in the month of April, In this occasion Samuel was a happy winner, during the event we saw him running and enjoy with other children his age, now he continues in treatment but he can enjoys his home with his parents.
