It is in an attempt to help these four children aged 4 to 14, that colleagues from Magali Blandin have decided to open an online kitty.

Specialized educator, Magali Blandin is described as a dedicated person for the children whom she accompanied on a daily basis.

Your joie de vivre, illustrated by your gluttony, has always enlivened us ”, slip his former colleagues on the page of La Cagnotte des relatives opened a week ago.
