A young Cuban woman, admitted to the Juan Manuel Márquez Pediatric Hospital, in Marianao, province of Havana, needs various medical materials and food to carry out her treatment.

In a subsequent publication, Fernández also shared the account numbers in which deposits can be made to buy food for the young woman, both in the national currency (CUP) and in the convertible currency (MLC).

At the time of writing this information, several people had already offered their help.

One user wrote in the comment section that "I'm on my way to carry colostomy bags."

The Aliento de Vida humanitarian project has raised aid for children and young people with cerebral palsy and rare diseases.

As part of the Christmas season, this project promoted, for the second consecutive year, the support for 15 people with childhood cerebral palsy and other rare ailments, indicated a publication on social networks.

“Our Aliento de Vida project has been serving these warriors for three years with food, hygiene, medicine, butts, etc.,” wrote coordinator Yankiel Fernández on Facebook.

They have also served as a reporting platform, from which requests for urgent help to obtain medicines have been made, as was the case of a girl with special needs and with seizures who could not take her medications due to the shortage.

The girl, 11 years old, residing in San Miguel del Padrón, in Havana, needs Sodium Valproate (500 mg), Clobazam (20 mg), Carbamazepine (200 mg), Piracetam (800 mg), Parkisonil (2mg).

The girl's father, desperate, turned to the networks to extend his request and thus be able to obtain the medications his little girl requires to stop convulsing.
