Mi Gran Esperanza: Support and Love for Children with Cancer in Mexico
Since 1995, Mi Gran Esperanza has been bringing hope to children and young people with cancer from low-income families. Founded by Sra. Bertha Padilla de Pérez, the organization has supported more than 6,000 young patients and their families through its various programs.
Through the resources they provide, Mi Gran Esperanza has contributed to the physical, emotional, and spiritual recovery of children and young people living with cancer — and of the families who stand beside them — offering greater hope and a better quality of life, rooted in love.

Childhood cancer is the leading cause of disease-related death in children.
When detected early and treated with a complete protocol, an average of 77% of patients can be saved.

A timely diagnosis increases the rate of recovery while reducing toxicity and long-term complications.
