The Aladina Foundation just posted this video in which they participate Gabriela Suarez, 12-year-old cancer patient and Santiago Segura, actor, screenwriter, director and producer of Spanish cinema. Between the two they present the opening of the Maktub Center at the Niño Jesús Hospital in Madrid. This center is a pioneer in bone marrow transplants and from the Aladina Foundation they are convinced that it will help save the lives of many children and adolescents with cancer.
I remember that the Aladina Foundation is a private non-profit organization created in 2005 and that aims to help children suffering from cancer and their families by attending to their material and psychological needs. The founder of Aladina is Paco Arango who started more than six years ago with ASION (Children's Oncology Association of the Community of Madrid) as a volunteer at the Niño Jesús Hospital, until he decided to create the Foundation. Since then he has not stopped visiting patients and saying that magic exists and that miracles too and that although they sometimes take time to arrive, from the Aladina Foundation they will try to make the children's stay in the Hospital as good as possible.
The Aladina Foundation, with its different support programs and its team of volunteers within the Hospital, gives special importance to all kinds of recreational activities. Through them, children and adolescents learn to adapt to their situation and disease without losing joy and keeping alive the desire to heal.
We thank the Aladina Foundation for the effort they make with the children and we hope and wish that they continue to do many more miracles.
