Alejandra Mendez, President of Childhood Cancer International, shared on LinkedIn:
“A visit filled with emotion, admiration, and hope in Jimma, Ethiopia!
On Wednesday, I had the privilege of visiting the current home operated by TAPPCO, a Childhood Cancer International member organization, for local children with cancer and their families.
It was deeply moving to witness the dedication and love of Sara Ibrahim and her team , and to spend time with the families. I had the opportunity to sit and talk with many mothers, listening to their powerful stories of resilience, strength, and hope.
We had coffee together, laughed, danced and even cried a little bit. Moments I will carry in my heart.
Experiences like this remind me how grateful I am to be part of Childhood Cancer International and to work alongside such extraordinary people.
And the most wonderful part? Soon, these families will have a new home!
Thanks to our Home Away From Home Programme, with the generous support of Sanofi Foundation, we are making this dream possible together: a new home offering the dignity, comfort, care, and living conditions these children and families deserve.
Because every child and every family deserves to feel safe, supported, and never alone.”
