Who we are

We are a family who once walked the unimaginable path of childhood cancer, when our daughter Dayanara was diagnosed in 2007. In the midst of hospital stays and treatments, a small plush Dumbo became her constant companion—a symbol of courage, comfort, and hope. Though she eventually lost that beloved toy, the strength and faith it gave her never faded. Seventeen years later, that same spirit lives on. Today, we are sending plush Dumbos to pediatric cancer patients across the country, sharing the same love and encouragement that carried Dayanara through her journey. What once brought light to one child is now bringing hope to many.
