Programs
Program 1: Warriors vs Cancer
Likewise, we receive direct requests from parents with limited resources and without social security. We help with treatment expenses and provide comprehensive support to children and adolescents during their cancer treatments.
Hand in hand with the ASOCIACION DE PADRES CON NIÑOS ENFERMOS AC (Association of parents with sick children), led by Omar Enrique Hernández, we live closely with their problems and address their primary needs.
We are aware that the fight against cancer is also hard lived by parents who not only love and educate their children but can also change the lives of their little ones by holding their hand in the hospital.
Our mission is to have more star children on earth than little stars in the sky!

We provide monthly support to families with young children in need. This program seeks to combat hunger, malnutrition, and the injustice of not having the most basic of needs, food.
Today, many families do not have this support due to the loss of income. Hundreds of Thousands of people in Mexico live in hunger every day, which threatens their health, weakens their immune system, and increases the risk of contagion from disease, limiting their development.
This situation is even more serious for the most vulnerable children, who need our support to have essential food.
In Mexico 20% of households suffer economically and from a severe lack of food.
The national population, particularly children, is affected by the triple burden of poor nutrition: overweight and obesity, malnutrition, and micronutrient deficiencies.
The current economic situation negatively affects the income of millions of families in our country with dire consequences for the health and nutrition of children, particularly due to the limited access to healthy food.
Each basket includes enough healthy food to feed a family of 4 as well as hygiene supplies and information on healthy eating and preventing the spread of diseases.
Our goal:
Is to guarantee a better quality of life for our children by offering them the opportunity to have a much healthier physical development through a healthy and balanced diet.
Program 3: Smiles Health Brigade
We provide medical, psychological, and dental care for children without access to public health:
- Dental cleaning and routine check-ups
- Treatment of cavities and infections
- Orthodontic treatment
- Pediatrics
- Psychological therapy
Children in impoverished communities live without access to basic health needs like clean water and sanitation which leads to preventable diseases and even worse. Health problems often cause children to fall behind in their studies and a lack of education leads to drug use, early pregnancy, and gang membership.
Our goals:
Guarantee a better quality of life for our children and to offer them the opportunity to have a healthy physical development.
Brigades:
The brigades are scheduled 3 to 4 times per year with a group of volunteer doctors and dentists who provide 50% of the costs, fees, and dental materials for the treatments.
These care brigades include information on oral health care with specialized dental hygiene workshops for children on proper brushing and healthy eating habits, while supplying cleaning kits.
Program 4: Financial Support Deliveries for Basic Living Expenses
We provide monthly financial support for recurring fixed shelter expenses to families in need with young children. This is a program that seeks to combat the lack of basic services necessary for a decent life, such as:
- Electric service
- Water
- Gas services
- Emergency expenses
A household is in a situation of energy poverty when it cannot afford (or is forced to allocate an excessive part of its income to pay for these utilities) to pay for electricity, water, and gas to satisfy basic domestic needs
Our goals:
Guarantee a better quality of life for our children by offering them the opportunity to develop healthfully with the necessary tools in a dignified environment. An environment that meets their needs to guarantee them a better future and give them hope of being able to fulfill their dreams.
Program 5: Love, Inclusion, and Development for Children with Disabilities
We come together hand in hand with associations and doctors from the private sector to attend to the needs of children with disabilities. Together, we provide support to families with economic needs for their subsistence and we help carry out medical treatments and therapies for those with chronic physical conditions or who are physically, intellectually, or sensory handicapped.
In Mexico, children with disabilities are more exposed than others to abuse, exclusion and discrimination.
Fight against the exclusion of disabled children:
Disabled children remain particularly vulnerable. Traditions, beliefs, or financial difficulties cause some parents to neglect and even abandon the child. Access to education for disabled children remains difficult and inadequate. The normalization of inclusive education can represent a means to remedy this situation. It is about giving children with disabilities the same educational opportunities within the school system. With the inclusive approach, students, schools, and their staff are encouraged to host a child with a disability.
What We Do:
- We support families with food supplies and financial help to cover their basic needs and therapies
- We work on the implementation of inclusive education in general education establishments through information brigades to normalize equality
- We promote early detection of diseases that can lead to physical disabilities
- We supply sponsorship through foundations dedicated to inclusion and rehabilitation activities

In this program, there is the opportunity to report the progress of the beneficiary child to the sponsor every six months. Follow-up is timely and children have the opportunity to express their appreciation via email, letters, photographs, or video — strengthening the human bond between the sponsor and the cause.
Our goal is to guarantee a better quality of life for our children by offering them the opportunity to have a healthy physical and mental development and a better future, with the hope of being able to fulfill all their dreams.
