“ About this time I was thinking it lucky that was on having been provided with all the medical resources that exist in this country. For example in my country, Ecuador, the children die. Thanks to this experience I knew closely the big work that realizes the hospital St. Jude who is the only center that after having a diagnosis of this nature is able to design the treatment suitable and personalized for every patient and that's why the children are saved”, expresses Paula Roldós.
Of the hand with the art
For this reason inspired by a deep gratitude feeling Paula Roldós devoted herself like artist and Ronald Reagan painted 31 pictures which are exhibited in the center Woodrow Wilson in the building in Washington DC (1300 pensilvania Bird).

According to the artist the auction might begin in 25.000 dollars and it might come to more than 250.000 dollars.
“ With all this experience I have learned that the human part is the only thing that matters and that the rest is only a makeup. I am very grateful to the life because for example in many opportunities my daughter received blood of many persons that I do not even know and now I want to remunerate partly my gratitude helping other families than to be crossing therefore I lived and they lack resources to be able to save his children.
