Eloy is a 3-year-old boy who comes from the Patne indigenous community of the municipality of San Antonio in the Huasteca area of San Luis Potosí, located 230 kilometers from the capital of Potosina.
Eloy lives with her mother (Miguela 16 years old) and with her grandmother (Matilde, 34 years old), due to her mother's young age and lack of support from her father, her grandmother shares the task of helping Eloy and Miguelita to get ahead of this difficult situation in which they find themselves.
Eloy was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia when he was only one year old, 2 years have passed since he began his treatment, which he has successfully received, everything indicates that it will end in another year, and then will go to the stage of surveillance that will last between 5 and 10 years. Eloy and his family began to receive help from this association from almost the beginning of their treatment, providing them with lodging, transportation assistance, psychological help, dental service among other services.
Eloy currently entered kindergarten while her mother went to high school, because regardless of the situation in which they find themselves, it is vitally important to continue preparing so that they can have more tools to help them get ahead in their lives, more beyond cancer treatment.
