Since the launch of the operation in 1989, the Yellow Pieces have made it possible to collect approximately 100 million euros, enough to build 70 "family houses" intended to bring families closer to the hospital, to fit out playrooms in the hospitals or improve the daily comfort of hospitalized children.

In total, nearly 9,300 projects have thus been financed throughout the territory.
