[Interview Collection] A Future Worth Believing In | Guardians Beside Pediatric Cancer Patients

For children with childhood cancer, the scariest thing is not the cancer cells, but your single word, 'pity.'

The treatment is over,

but some children cannot return to society.

The real barrier the children face

was the prejudice called compassion.

Part 1

Confession of the Creator

The Value of Everyday Life

To protect everyday life,

is to walk through the long tunnel of illness

and once again into the light called 'normalcy.'

It means stepping back into that light.

We hope that children,

will shine in their ordinariness within that light.

Recommended for these people.

Survivors who fear the gaze of others

Those who felt lost returning to society,
Just by reading the stories in the book,
I gained confidence that I was not wrong.

Now, I can share my experiences without hiding them,
and face them with confidence.

A family bearing the weight of 'care' alone,

It felt like an endless tunnel,
but reading the honest confessions of other families,
I felt a sense of connection that I was not alone.

Thanks to this, I feel like I found
a small well to help me get through today.

Value consumption supporters who invest in social value,

It's not just a simple donation,
but a project that brings about a change in perception,
so I feel proud to have participated.

Just owning this vividly designed book,
will help me remember the voice of this project.
