About us
Our History
Our foundation was born as a result of the illness of my son Santiago, who had a brain tumor at the age of 17. After his death, I created a program to support high-risk pregnant women and presented it to the Hospital de Clínicas “José De San Martín”. While at the hospital, I made a mistake and went to the wrong floor. So, instead of taking my program to the Maternity Department, I took it to the Mental Health Department.
In spite of this mistake, I was invited to work in oncological psychoprophylaxis in the chemotherapy room, with breast and uterine cancer patients. I began teaching gym classes, photography and reflexology sessions to caregivers so that, in turn, they could help the patients feel better. Then, María De San Martín, my daughter, joined with the idea of painting sessions during chemotherapy, as if it was a traditional workshop. The idea was truly innovative and the results exceeded our expectations.
After a lot of work, we managed to systematize our program and replicate it in 16 other hospitals. Nowadays, we are working to reach as many hospitals as possible.
