Our history

Manos que Sanan was founded in 2013, our story begins with little Bryan. He was admitted to the hospital in his fight against cancer, during his stay he gathered some toys for the other children in the hospital. That is how we met him, in one of our conversations he told us that his dream was to visit the beach. Our founder, excited with this dream and with this boy’s big heart, he knew that he had to do something to fulfill this boy’s dream. This story moved many hearts, thus making it possible to get transportation, lodging and meals in the city of Tampico, Mexico.

Sadly, a few weeks before travelling to fulfill his dream, Bryan had medical complications and passed away. This news were very hard, but also the little warrior planted something beautiful in our hearts. With everything ready for the trip and a group of people ready to fulfill dreams, we were not going to give up now. We met Vicky and Eva, two little girls also fighting against this horrible disease, and fulfilled their dream (and Bryan’s) when they saw the sea for the first time. Our friends from Tampico were so happy to meet these girls that they let us invite more kids to fulfill their dreams too. Little by little these trips became regular and inspired more people to join this beautiful cause.

This is how our main program was created and how our mission was born: “To positively transform the lives of boys and girls in hospitals and high-risk areas with hope, joy and love.”
