I want to tell you about the beautiful work that the Colombian Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation has been developing in recent months with children who are candidates for a bone marrow transplant. ¡We have developed a kit! A valuable educational material that helps children and their parents to understand better this procedure called Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT).
The kit contains an educational booklet and an animated video titled “Mom's Garden”, there Nico, an 8-year-old boy explains to other children how he understood OMT, using an analogy with his mother's garden.
The kit also contains a blanket for the cold, a schedule to organize activities during the hospitalization after the BMT, a puzzle from Mom's Garden and some hygiene items that are necessary when doing a BMT.
Different bone marrow transplant units in Colombia have already received this material, but we only have an initial production of 100 units, so your valuable contribution will be essential to produce more kits that can reach the hands of more children with cancer.
What do you think of the kit? How do you think we could continue to contribute to the well-being of families of children with cancer?
