It’s a Christmas they won’t forget. On Wednesday, December 18, no less than 200 sick children, parents, people with disabilities and caregivers experienced a sublime and oh-so-spectacular Christmas party in the premises of Provence Studios. All in a dream setting, simply magnificent and magical. We were immersed in a Christmas market with stalls selling pancakes, drinks, cotton candy, sweets and decorative wooden objects.

And that’s not all! Princess carriages, Santa’s sleigh, makeup stand, graffiti workshop, virtual reality workshop were set up for the occasion. There was also a creative workshop with beads to place on plates to make Mario, Pokémon or superhero key rings, decorative paintings or earrings. These young people who come from hospitals in Marseille, Martigues and even the region were able to leave with their production. Without forgetting the presence of dwarf goats and a huge Christmas tree with thousands of gifts! Guests were able to dance and take photos with people dressed as superheroes, king, queen, princess, Mini, elf… But also with stars!
“I forget my illness”
This special party started with the arrival of Star Wars characters then singer Inès opened the ball. Just after, it was the turn of 13-year-old Kayness to sing on stage for the first time. This teenager, suffering from a brain tumor, amazed the crowd with a very moving song, written by Camille Lellouche, entitled I keep smiling.
“I was stressed, but it was amazing! I was told that I was palliative and that nothing could be done. 14 months later, I am here and I am very happy and moved. I hope to bring hope to other sick children. You must always fight, never give up because everything is possible“, confided Kayness.
