Their story — in their own words

Little Mateo is facing a battle that no child should ever have to live through. He is only 8 months old and has been diagnosed with stage four cancer. His world — and that of his entire family — changed overnight.

Instead of a normal childhood, full of laughter and discovery, Mateo's days now pass in hospitals, surrounded by doctors, treatments, and constant uncertainty.

His cancer treatment requires intensive chemotherapy, high-cost medications, continuous hospitalizations, and transfers to specialized centers. Each session is another step in his fight, but it also represents an enormous financial burden for his family.

Doctors have scheduled new phases of treatment. For these to take place without delay, the family needs to raise the funds in time. Every day that passes without resources could mean an interruption in his recovery.

Mateo's family cannot cover the chemotherapy, medications, clinical studies, hospitalizations, and transfers on their own. Your help can allow him to complete every phase of treatment without further interruptions.

The original campaign reported 10,360,000 MXN raised out of a goal of 18,500,000 MXN. For this international presentation, both figures were converted to US dollars using the European Central Bank's reference rate from September 10, 2026.

Any donation, no matter how small, can bring Mateo closer to the complete treatment he needs. If you cannot donate, sharing his story can also help enormously.
