In the last few days there have been several children’s solidarity birthday’s, but this one is extra special, because it involves a 2 year old child from Modena who has Thalassemia Major, the genetic disease that Cure2Children are curing in Asia, and that is now very rare in Italy .
His mum found us through the Internet and joined our initiative of solidarity Cure2Children birthday’s with conviction and enthusiasm, to celebrate his second birthday. I was very impressed by what she wrote.
“Hello, I am the mother of Christian, this year I’ve decided to give him a solidarity birthday with Cure2Children, in order to help children in developing countries who, like him, are suffering from thalassemia, but who unfortunately are less likely to get the care that he has had here in Italy.
I believe it’s a small gesture, that we can all help children and that is the most important thing there is. My son and I live personally with the problem of thalassemia, and it is vital to receive treatment, so it’s important that everyone does something to help these children in other countries who need care and above all they need to live, as Christian! ”
From me, and from everyone who in any way cooperates with Cure2Children, but especially the children who we save in Kosovo and in Asia, many thanks to Christian and his mother, whose sensitivity and generosity are an example to us all, and they give us the incentive to commit more and more.
I renew my call for families in Italy and abroad to have a solidarity birthday for their children, it’s a small gesture but great by meaning.
With little we can do much.
