Hay juguetes que llegan a convertirse en los bienes más preciados de los niños, ya sea aquel peluche sin el que no pueden dormir, ese muñeco con música del que no se separan o esa colección de cromos que les ha costado tanto reunir. Ese era el caso de Alejandro, un niño de 7 años que perdió su colección favorita de cartas de Pokémon.
Él guardaba sus cartas en una pequeña mochila que dejaron olvidada el día 30 de septiembre en la Plaza de María Pita, en A Coruña. Alejandro suele jugar con sus amigos en esa céntrica plaza de la localidad gallega. “Él me preguntó varias veces por la mochila y yo le contestaba con la típica frase: ‘está donde la hayas dejado’. Me insistió tanto que le ayudé a buscar y no estaba”, explica Cecilia, la madre del pequeño.
Contactaron con las demás madres que se encontraban ese día en la plaza y una de ellas les explicó que sí que había quedado allí la mochila, pero como no sabían de quién era, la dejaron en la plaza por si pertenecía a otro grupo de niños de otro colegio. “Alejandro estaba muy triste por haber perdido su juguete favorito, siempre va a todas partes con sus cartas de Pokémon”, confiesa su madre.
“La idea de poner carteles fue del niño, muchas veces vemos carteles de gatitos perdidos, patinetes, etc. Le hice los carteles y los fuimos pegando el domingo pasado por los alrededores de la plaza además de compartirlo en Facebook e Instagram”, comenta Cecilia en referencia al cartel que se compartió en el tuit viral.
Cecilia no tenía cuenta de Twitter y tardó un poco en darse cuenta de todo lo que estaba pasando. Una chica de Valencia le contactó por WhatsApp para ofrecerse a mandar unos paquetitos de cartas para el niño. Fue esa chica la que le explicó que varias personas en Twitter estaban tratando de juntar cartas para Alejandro y fue en ese momento en el que le compartió el enlace del famoso tuit.
El post publicado por Mara, una usuaria que vio el cartel cerca de su casa y decidió compartirlo en Twitter, cuenta ya con casi 19.000 retweets y más de 28.000 ‘me gusta’. Muchas personas se han puesto en contacto con Cecilia para enviarle sus cartas al pequeño y aunque la mochila aún no ha aparecido, Twitter ha conseguido “hacer su magia” una vez más.
“Estamos súper agradecidos a tantas personas que nos ofrecen sus cartas, figuras de Pokémon o están dispuestos a comprarle unas nuevas al niño. Estamos aún asumiendo todo esto y no tenemos palabras suficientes para agradecerles tantísimo cariño”, cuenta Cecilia agradecida y abrumada ante todo el apoyo que han recibido.
“Nos gustaría poder recuperar su tesoro, lleva coleccionándolas desde hace tres años y medio y no tienen valor monetario pero el niño no mira eso y nosotros tampoco. Si alguien la recogió puede llevarla a objetos perdidos o llamarnos, no lo juzgaremos”, añade.
