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.
Triana managed to raise 150 €, which she handed over to Maria Ferrer, the local president of the AECC, at her birthday party yesterday. Maria Ferrer "highlighted the awareness of this girl and her family who, after a serious illness, now wanted to help other children, as she herself was helped at the time, as well as the generosity and happiness of all the children who donated the money with such enthusiasm”.
