to give

The Christmas Season invites us to unite and share love with our loved ones, but not everyone is as fortunate. In Mexico, thousands of children face the harsh reality of cancer, an expensive and challenging disease. In response to this need, the sustainable fashion app GoTrendy launch the initiative “Giving Happiness,” inviting all Mexicans to give toys from the date of this publication until Monday, December 11.

The importance of solidarity

According to Vuela Foundation, around 6,000 children in Mexico are diagnosed with cancer each year. This disease not only affects children but also their families, who face overwhelming economic and emotional challenges. To provide support to these brave children and their families, GoTrendier has joined the cause.

Objective: Fill the little ones with joy

The goal is deliver toys on Thursday, December 14 to children between 3 and 18 years old who are in the Oncology department of the General Hospital of Mexico City. These toys will be part of the activities aimed at improving your quality of life and human development during treatment.

Your contribution is valuable

“Throughout the year, millions of users searched their closets for items that could have a new chance in the hands of others. In this month of generosity, we ask you to search once again and donate toys in good condition or new to fill the little ones with joy,” shared Ana Jiménez, Country Manager of the platform.

Types of Toys Appropriate to Donate

The toys you can donate range from ages 3 to 18 and include options such as stuffed animals, board games, puzzles, dolls, action figures, cars, colors, coloring books, among others.

Where to donate and some useful tips

Donations will be received at the following address: London 40, Heroes of the Revolution, Cuauhtémoc, 06600 Naucalpan de Juárez, Mexico City, Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. If you are in another city and want to send your donation, simply contact the app’s help chat for a free delivery guide.

Additionally, we offer you three important tips to ensure you donate a quality toy:

1. Make sure it works 100%: Check that the toy is fully functional, as a toy that still serves its purpose will make another child happy.
2. Avoid donating broken items: A damaged or broken toy can lose its appeal, so make sure it’s in good condition.
3. Don’t give what you have left: Before donating, consider whether the toy is suitable for reuse or whether it is best to recycle it. This holiday season, you can teach children generosity by releasing toys they no longer use before the new ones arrive.

Your donation can make a difference in the life of a child with cancer. Join the “Giving Happiness” initiative and help make this holiday season more special for those who need it most.
