Hola:
me llamo silvia tengo 44 años y encontré el juguete en el momento mas triste de mi vida
Tengo cancer de mama fui operada hace dos años y todo salio muy bien
Hace 20 dias apareció muevamente y los estudios confirmaron la bendita enfermedad por lo que no queda otra cosa que operar y sacar el pecho
Hoy 22 de diciembre al salir de la cirujana para confirmar los detalles de la operación que se llevará a cabo el proximo 26 de diciembre me encontré con este regalo
Venía de horas de llanto no puedo contenerlo, al ver la bolsa estaba con mi mamá no sabía que hacer
Vivo en argentina y acá la gente es linda pero muy especial
me sorprendí no sabia que era pero al ver la calidez del juguete se me dibujo una sonrisa
Gracias, las cosas ocurren porque asi tiene que ser
Todavía y a pesar de todo hay gente buena!!!!
Silvia

Hi:

My name is Silvia, I´m 44 years old and I found the toy in the saddest period of my life.

I´ve got breast cancer. I had surgery two years ago and everything came out very well.
20 days ago cancer appeared again and medical studies confirmed the desease. The only option is to operate and remove the breast.
Today, december 22, after leaving the surgeon´s office (where I went to confirm the details for the surgery that will take place on december 26) I found this gift.
I had been crying for hours. When I saw the bag I was with my mother and didn´t know what to do.

I live in Argentina and here people is nice but very special.
I was surprised, I didn´t know what it was but seeing how warmth the toy was drew a smile on my face

Thanks, things happen because they have to
Despite all, there still are good people.

Silvia

It's funny, you know, because when Noe dropped this toy she said "First I left her on a bench, but she refused to stay there and started screaming that she wanted to be left next to the thrash can. I could do nothing about that. There´s where I last saw her. ." How lovely that she chose that trash can.
