Our Programs
LPAP's mission is to make easier, the difficult path experienced by children battling cancer, as well as their families, through the following programs:
Life support
- Chemotherapy
- Medicines
- Medical studies
- Medical Exams Prior to Bone Marrow Transplant
These treatments are not covered by health systems, and fluctuate between $ 10,000.00 to $ 60,000.00 pesos depending on the case. For this reason, the patient is evaluated socioeconomically with the help of Labor Mexicana, a company dedicated to this type of studies, ensuring that our objective is met, which is to help those who have less and give them a chance at life.
Pantries and smiles
Through this program we provide nutritious pantries every month and supply children and their families with basic necessities and personal hygiene items. Cancer is also fought with food and due to COVID-19 items are included for their safety.
Pediasure
Did you know that chemotherapy kills children's appetite and most of the time there is nothing else they can take to nourish them to levels necessary to continue with another chemo?
Children's Day and Christmas
On both these days so special to them we seek to have fun and take them out of the routine of medicines, hospitals and doctors; organizing activities and pampering them with gifts.
Raffles and Dreams
More and more people are on social networks, which is why once a month we do raffles where children with cancer from all over the world participate. We have delivered gifts in Monterrey, Querétaro, Saltillo, Distrito Federal, Chihuahua, León, as well as in the United States. *Requirement only: Being a superhero or a warrior fighting cancer.
Comforts
In this program we provide support to both families and terminally ill patients to help them in their process. We make their last days fun and special depending on the wishes of child. From decorating the room of the character or theme that he likes the most, giving him the toys he wants and bringing the food that he most wants or that he likes the most.
Transportation allowance
This program covers the round trip (bus or plane) of foreign patients who come to receive their chemotherapy in other cities or who are in the process of bone marrow transplantation and have to travel to Ciudad de Mexico.
LPAP toy libraries
Sometimes children with cancer spend a lot of time inside hospitals fighting this disease. They are also highly vulnerable to catching any disease since their defenses are low, so they have to be in controlled environments. But they are still children who want to play, learn and discover the world. That is why in LPAP we care a lot that they have a space for them; where they can play, read, learn, dream and have fun. This is how the Toy Libraries program was born.
In 2020, we inaugurated the toy library in Tepic, Nayarit that is available to more than 50 children in the IMSS hospital. We are currently working for the opening of the toy library in Cd. Obregón, Sonora in the General Hospital and we have plans for San Luis, León and Aguascalientes.
It is important that, if you know of a hospital within the Mexican Republic that treats children with cancer and does not have a special space for them, let us know. We want to reach more hospitals and for all children with cancer to have a place in the hospital where they are treated so that they can remain children despite their battle.
