Beatriz Estrada Martínez also highlighted the main objective that the Heart of Your Government has in the face of this disease: “let us bring to all of them the heart that we have here in the institution, that heart that has to see them with love, with affection, with dedication and Wishing you have a happy and healthy life. The DIF is precisely there to support and help, let us be sensitive to this pain in children and let us make them smile again and that in their little eyes we can once again see the illusion of living, of living with the family and of living well, of living healthy.”

The president of the Nayarit DIF System, accompanied by the general director, Mauro Lugo Izaguirre, and all the institution's staff, made a human bow with gold clothing, which represents the strength and resistance that boys and girls can have in the face of this illness.
