Mrs. Mirna Luz Chavaría is 40 years old, is mother of 2 kids, an 18 year old boy and a 9 year old girl and when we interviewed her she said: “ I think that the human labor that the FOG is doing deserves respect, we know that Mrs. Ortiz Gurdian also has suffered from breast cancer and we pray to god that he takes care of her, and I thank god that people so generous as she is, exist in this world as well as all the people who are helping in this cause. There are few people that sacrifice their time and their money to share with others who are suffer the same things they do but who do not share the same financial situation as I do, and with the help of the FOG I have learned to understand what it is to have faith and hope, to move on with your life and to share what you have with others because the one who shares always will receive blessings.”

Mrs. Sandra Samkan is originally from Masaya, 10 years ago while pregnant, she discovered she had breast cancer and was immediately operated. She had a reoccurrence and her income does not permit her to pay for the treatment necessary to combat the disease. She is a mother of a 10 year old boy and she expressed: “the help that FOG is receiving to pay for the treatments is a blessing to my family and me because the only income that my family has is that of my husbands, who works night and day to make US$ 122 a month, and that does not give us enough to pay for my treatments. I thank FOG for everything they have done for me and my family because if it isn't for their help I would be dead.”
