There is concern because more than 300 people with cancer, who are part of the Fundayama Foundation in
Medellín
they will be left without treatment and care due to lack of support; they ask for help because most of them are mothers who are heads of households.
This difficult situation that the foundation is going through began to be suffered in the pandemic, when many companies stopped supporting the project that began 15 years ago in order to help people who are fighting cancer. With the resources they mainly support the psychosocial sessions, sports, legal advice, delivery of markets, but also the maintenance of the headquarters.
Claudia Urrego, director of Fundayama, made the call to the public-private sector so that they are not left alone, because it would be a risk stop supporting so many people who see the pink house as a blessing.
“We ask the companies to support us so that we can continue with the programs. We have fixed positions that are always high, as is the case of the administrative assistant, public services, for this reason we will have to stop some services, because our savings reserve has run out. Therefore, we are looking for new alternatives so as not to close the pink house”.
