Benalmadena is showing that when one of their own residents needs help, the whole town steps up.
This time, it’s for Leonor, a 14-year-old girl facing an inoperable brain tumour. Her best shot is a vaccine available in Germany, and the community is moving fast to raise the funds needed to make it happen.
The initiative has been launched by El Vuelo de las Libelulas with the backing of the local traders’ association ACEB and the town hall. The idea is to unite neighbours, businesses, and anyone willing to chip in, so Leonor and her family don’t have to carry this fight alone.
Shops across Benalmadena are already joining in. The first to sign up was Dakota Modas, a local clothing store that hosted the campaign’s presentation. Each participating business makes a donation and, in return, receives a solidarity sticker, a small symbol with a big message: “We’re with Leonor.” Soon, the town will be filled with them.
Anyone can help. Locals are encouraged to send a contribution through a solidarity Bizum to the number 08672, with the word Leonor in the message.
And every euro matters. Every sticker in a shop window tells a story of support. And together, they’re turning a wave of solidarity into real hope for a young girl and her family.
