One of the most acclaimed, the forward Yuri Alberto spoke about the action. “It's important to receive these visits. Back in São José dos Campos, I usually visit an NGO near my house called GACC (Child Cancer Assistance Group). You don't know how good it is for them to receive us. For us, it may seem like a simple gesture, but for them, it can change a lot”.

“A child can become very happy and can start to eat and focus on their treatment. To pass joy and good energy to them is too good”, added the player.

Vanessa de Paula dos Santos, a representative from Make-A-Wish Brazil, valued the meeting and explained how actions like this can help in the treatment of children.

“The dream of these boys is to meet Corinthians, to be at the CT near the players. This moment ends up being quite transformative for the children because it brings hope and a breath of life in a difficult time. It helps in the treatment and helps to overcome the difficulties of the disease. The support of Corinthians at this moment will be very important and unforgettable for the children and their families”, she commented.
