GUADALAJARA, Jalisco.-The second round begins against the shortage.
Red Nose gave a “hook to the liver” to childhood cancer when delivering 94 doses of cytarabine to the Juan I. Menchaca Civil Hospital that he bought with part of the 500 thousand pesos that he gathered in the first stage of the campaign against the lack of medicines.
Thank you, really thank you very much for not leaving us alone, “said the aunt of Leonardo Mateo, who at the age of 3 fights against leukemia.
But it is still missing. In the shelves of the pharmacy of the hospital we need six medications for the chemotherapies of the patients and to get them they already added to their ranks a champion.
Through social networks, the association invited the boxer from Jalisco Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez to donate to buy the drugs that are needed and prevent children from interrupting their treatment.
“Friend Canelo, you have helped a lot and today we need you more than ever to buy medicines for children with cancer, help us with your donation (…) we will knock cancer again”, published Red Nose on Twitter.
And the answer came. The boxer climbed into the ring and although it is not yet established how he will participate in the fight, he will help the little ones.
“Of course, with pleasure, right now I tell you to talk to you to see what you need”, was published in the account of boxing champion Welterweight.
The campaign has already been opened through the Fondify platform and it is expected to gather 500 thousand pesos to buy the necessary medicines.
For Rodolfo Márquez, father of Leonardo Mateo, the actions of the civil association are a hope to reach the cure.
The little one still has no shortage of supplies, but they fear that there will be no medicines for his next chemotherapy.
Alejandro Barbosa, director of Red Nose, said that the shortage does not end and although there is the promise of the Federation to stock up on Monday, they do not trust that.
There is no certainty that they will arrive and we definitely cannot be at the expense of an all or nothing or with the uncertainty that if it will arrive, what happens if it arrives? Well, we will have more and that will leave us alone while they will receive their treatment, “said Barbosa.
