Triana Matilla Ruiz is a girl from Calpe who just turned 4 years old. After overcoming a severe bone marrow disease, this little girl decided that she wanted to help other sick children on her birthday instead of receiving presents, so she asked her friends to donate money to the AECC - Junta Local de Calpe instead of gifts for her.
