My goddaughter, Maria Fernanda "Fer", received services from this organization and we never paid a penny for it. She is not with us anymore but the love and attention they had with her was something extraordinary. We would like people to support organizations like this that give the maximum for child cancer patients in Puerto Rico. My family and friends are proud of their work.
