<div>Fundaci&oacute;n Cuenta Conmigo is a nonprofit foundation created to support low-income families with a family member suffering from cancer in the Chilean public health system. Specifically, the foundation assists families navigating the process of their child&rsquo;s cancer treatment. This includes covering expenses and helping address needs that are not supported by the State or other non-governmental institutions. This organization is near and dear to Ana Wainer&rsquo;s heart. Her son, Dante&rsquo;s, close friend, Vicente, was diagnosed with pre-leukemia at age 9. After long and exhausting treatment, he underwent a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, it was not successful. Vicente later relapsed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, &quot;a diagnosis that profoundly changed the lives of his family and of all of us who knew him and accompanied them throughout the process,&rdquo; Ana says. At age 11, after a long and courageous battle, Vincente passed away. &ldquo;Despite the deep sorrow, Vicente left us invaluable life lessons and opened our eyes to a reality that often remains invisible to much of society,&rdquo; Ana says. Shortly after his passing in March 2019, Vicente&rsquo;s parents founded Fundaci&oacute;n Cuenta Conmigo in 2020. Ana was a co-founder of the foundation and served as a volunteer member on the board of directors for three years. Through her role at Lockton, she coordinated activities between Lockton and the foundation as part of their Christmas initiatives since 2022. &ldquo;From the moment I introduced the foundation at Lockton, the company was very open to collaborating and the response was overwhelmingly positive,&rdquo; Ana says. &ldquo;When I invited my colleagues to participate as volunteers, everyone showed a genuine interest in helping in any way needed.&rdquo; Ana&rsquo;s love and dedication towards this foundation have been recognized by Lockton, earning her the Lockton Cares Community Impact Award for the Latin America region. This award celebrates Lockton Associates across the globe who go above and beyond to improve their communities through volunteering and philanthropy. Each recipient can direct a $25,000 donation to a charity of their choice, funded directly by the Lockton family. &ldquo;As first I was genuinely surprised to hear my name, followed by a deep sense of emotion, pride, and gratitude,&rdquo; Ana explains. The award funds were used to purchase a brand-new utility vehicle, which is now used to distribute the various donations the foundation receives and delivers to families undergoing treatment in public hospitals. Donations include food, Christmas gifts, medical supplies, orthopedic equipment, and other essential items as needs arise. Ana had to step down from her role on the board of directors, but this award represents the support she wished she could have continued providing. &ldquo;I feel like it is a kind of legacy that Lockton helped me leave for the foundation, for Vicente, and for his family,&rdquo; she says. As she becomes more familiar with Lockton culture, Ana says it was a pleasant surprise to see that the importance of culture is not something just written on paper, but something truly reflected in the company&rsquo;s commitment to charitable causes around the world. &ldquo;Lockton genuinely cares,&rdquo; Ana says. It&rsquo;s no secret how much this foundation means to Ana, and she will continue contributing and encourage more people show support in any way they can. Fundaci&oacute;n Cuenta Conmiga gave Ana an opportunity to discover an unfamiliar world&mdash;one that anyone could find themselves in one day. &ldquo;It taught me to value what I have,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;To be more empathetic toward those going through difficult times.&quot;
