One of this season’s Christmas ornaments does more than hang on a tree. The Patronato Pro Hospital General de Tijuana, a foundation that has worked for more than 26 years without government funding, has launched its “Esfera de la Esperanza 2026” (Ornament of Hope) campaign to raise money for cancer care for vulnerable children in Baja California, El Imparcial reported on Thursday.
There are three ornaments, each tied to a need: a green one for 200 pesos goes to chemotherapy supplies, a blue one for 500 pesos to special medications and a gold one for 1,000 pesos to medical tests. A first batch of ornaments is ready, and a second batch is planned to reach the year’s goal, according to the report.
The campaign supports treatment for 45 children in active cancer therapy and more than 150 in follow-up, and the program needs 700,000 to 800,000 pesos a month, El Imparcial reported. Natalia Delgado, the foundation’s fundraising coordinator, called it one of the strongest and most human campaigns the group runs, and invited companies to make it part of their year-end social-responsibility plans.
