Children with cancer go from having a normal, active childhood to facing months or even years of treatment, social isolation, and emotional exhaustion - for them and their entire family. The Aladina Home will be Europe's first comprehensive daytime support center for children with cancer, their families, and survivors: a 15,000m oasis in Madrid where they can access therapies, activities, and emotional support away from the hospital setting.

Treatment is often lengthy, sometimes lasting years, and the impact extends well beyond the clinical setting - more than 60% of survivors face lifelong physical and psychological side effects. Families experience extreme social isolation, emotional exhaustion, and a near-total loss of normalcy. And yet, once a child leaves the hospital, comprehensive support is virtually nonexistent.
The Aladina Home will be Spain's first center dedicated entirely to supporting children with cancer, their families, and survivors outside the hospital. Located in Madrid's Hortaleza district on a 15,000m plot surrounded by green spaces, it will offer a wide range of programs and therapies - including dog therapy, psychological support, sports, rehabilitation in indoor and outdoor pools, art, music, cinema, theater, golf, and weekend camps - all free of charge.

By providing continuity of care beyond the hospital, it will help reduce the long-term physical and psychological consequences of childhood cancer - for patients, survivors, siblings, and parents alike. No family will face this journey alone.
