The City Council collaborates with Cudeca to raise funds to support two home health care teams.

Through the micro-donation campaign “Sunflower Movement: Energy to add Life to the Days”, the organization aims to raise 250,000 euros.

The Consistory maintains its collaboration agreement with the association since 2015, uninterruptedly.

The Estepona City Council, through the Deputy Mayor of the Sociocultural Area, Paula Herrera and the Councillor for Citizen Participation, Maria Aguilar, have presented today with representatives of the Cudeca Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides comprehensive care for people with cancer and other advanced diseases, the campaign “Sunflower Movement: Energy to add Life to the Days”, through which the NGO aims to raise funds to implement two teams of home health care, which could assist about 400 families in their homes.

The municipal authorities have asked for the collaboration of the citizens with this initiative, in which people can contribute through a system of micro-donations. Cudeca’s goal is to reach 250,000 euros, which would serve to compose and maintain these two medical assistance teams and their corresponding vehicles.

Paula Herrera has insisted on the need for everyone who can to collaborate in order to achieve this goal together, also recalling how the number of families assisted by the NGO has increased significantly.

For her part, María Aguilar recalled that the City Council has been providing its assistance to Cudeca, through a municipal grant, since 2015 and uninterruptedly.

The donation campaign will be active for the next three months, until January 31. All the information to make contributions for this campaign can be found on the website www.movimientogirasol.org

Rafael Gómez, coordinator of Cudeca’s assistance teams, has highlighted in the presentation of the campaign the solidarity of the citizens of Estepona, who offer their support throughout the year through the two stores that the entity has in the municipality and recalled that, only during 2022, Cudeca offered assistance to a total of 1,771 people directly, supporting a total of 2,400 family members.

Since 1992, more than 18,000 patients have been cared for by Cudeca Foundation’s Interdisciplinary Programs of: home care, day unit and inpatient unit; supported by psychosocial care programs and rehabilitation programs. Cudeca’s medical attention and care is completely free of charge.

Cudeca Foundation works to ensure quality of life, autonomy and dignity of the people they care for until the end.
