TV Audience Awards Reported 25 Million Pesos to Help 5-Year-Old Twins With Noonan Syndrome

The donation followed a family friend's cumbia performance on Buenas noches Familia that spotlighted the boys' costly trips from Escobar to Hospital Garrahan.

Overview

  • Thiago and Leonel, both five, are Garrahan patients who need frequent specialist care for Noonan syndrome.
  • A pre-recorded video showed the twins explaining they sometimes cannot afford bus and train fares to reach their appointments.
  • Family friend Nico performed a Leo Mattioli–inspired cumbia set on the El Trece program hosted by Guido Kaczka to rally support.
  • During the broadcast, the studio audience granted a solidarity prize, with reports citing roughly 25 million pesos raised within minutes.
  • Coverage also explained that Noonan syndrome is a genetic condition affecting development, often requiring ongoing multidisciplinary follow-up.
