With a big hug and a handshake, the mayor of Medellín, Federico Gutiérrez, thanked the gesture of a child who, in a school uniform, came to commune 2, Santa Cruz, specifically to the Sinaí neighborhood to donate 20 thousand pesos, and thus contribute to one of the 300 families affected after the flood last Sunday, November 10.
The protagonist of this true story is called Martín and, after the gesture of solidarity, Mayor Gutiérrez recognized his generous act and said it was an example.

“Fico, I want to give you these 20,000 pesos to donate,” the boy told the president of Medellín.
The mayor was surprised by the little boy’s valuable action, and invited him to approach a family and give the money away.
“You have a very big heart. Let it be you yourself who gives the donation to the people. You are going to do it and you are going to understand why. You will feel very good to be able to help people who need it,” said Gutiérrez.
Once he entered the house, Martín gave the money to a woman who, excited, thanked him and blessed him.
“God reward you, God bless you; Thank you for your good heart,” the woman said.
