In a touching account, Carla, a brave patient and resident at the Unidos Contra el Cáncer Foundation (UCEC) Support House, shares her experience and gratitude for the invaluable opportunity provided by the organization.
Carla, from the city of Rancagua, faced the challenging reality of undergoing treatment in La Serena. After receiving a transplant from her sister, Carla found a complete refuge in UCEC’s Support House, with all the necessary comforts for herself and her parents.
During her six months of cancer treatment, Carla and her parents had the chance to stay at the support house, which allowed the family to remain together while she was in the hospital. The solidarity and emotional support provided by her parents became a fundamental pillar for Carla during this difficult period.
Carla emphasizes the importance of having a space that not only meets physical needs but also provides a warm and welcoming environment. She expressed her eternal gratitude to UCEC for giving her family the chance to face this battle against cancer together.
Carla’s mother also shared words of thanks, inviting those facing this illness and needing to relocate to the Coquimbo region to reach out to the Unidos Contra el Cáncer Foundation. With emotion, she encouraged people to contact the foundation, highlighting the importance of receiving support during these challenging times.
Carla’s story is a living testament to UCEC’s mission, which strives every day to provide help, hope, and companionship to those battling cancer. The foundation reaffirms its commitment to continue being a beacon of light for those affected, showing that unity and solidarity can make a real difference in the fight against this disease.
