The colors of hope and kindness filled the sky

With the participation of numerous students, nurses, and healthcare professionals, each balloon released during the event symbolized the smile, hope, and faith in the future of a child who has recovered.

“We will continue to share kindness and spread hope”

Students participating in the event stated that Kübranur’s story has become a beacon of hope for all children and emphasized their determination to continue reaching out to more young patients each year.
