Supporting Saving Children with Cancer Project
Ayudame a Vivir Foundation, Inc. has established a collaboration agreement with Fundación Ayúdame a Vivir (AYUVI) to support children with cancer in Guatemala, currently served at the Saving Children with Cancer Project.
AYUVI was established in the year 1997. It provides a comprehensive treatment at NO COST tailored to each family´s needs. This psychosocial approach includes: medicines, hospitalization, social work, parental education, child-life program, psychological attention, nutritional advising, shelter, transportation stipends, groceries, funerary services, spiritual & support therapies, and palliative & hospice care. Up to June (2020) 9,267 children have been attended, 7,249 children have been diagnosed and 3,221 are now free of this disease.
AYUVI established a public- private alliance with UNOP- National Pediatric Oncology Unit-the only hospital specialized in pediatric cancer in Guatemala. AYUVI fundraises and provides all required resources for the operation, maintenance, and growth of UNOP. AYUVI also supports an ambulatory clinic located in Xela, Quetzaltenango which serves patients from the Western Highlands, and the AYUVI- Estuardo Mini Hospice located in the outskirts of Guatemala City.
