They ask for help for a Cuban child who is a cancer patient in the US.

A 15-year-old Cuban teenager, who is fighting brain cancer, needs support from the exile community to sustain himself in the United States where he is receiving medical treatment.

Jenniffer Williams opened a campaign inGoFundMe to raise money forJorge Dominguez and his mother Katheryne, who are in the United States on a health tourism visa, so that a hospital can care for the Cuban teenager sick with cancer.

"In November 2021, Jorge was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. He received surgery, chemotherapy and radiation in Cuba between December 2022 and April 2023. In April of that year, doctors told them that the cancer was still there and would need treatments that they couldn't provide," they explain in the campaign text.

Katheryne was able to obtain a medical tourism visa for her son to receive treatment in the United States.

On December 12, 2023, Jorge underwent Gamma-Knife radiosurgery at theMiami Neuroscience Center, conducted by Dr. Aizik Wolf.

The boy tolerated the surgery well and is undergoing a chemotherapy program at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital in Tampa, Florida.

The health center covers the costs of treatments, chemotherapy and transportation to and from medical appointments, but some medications are not included.

For Jorge's mother it is impossible to work in the United States. You must take care of your sick child, which is why this campaign seeks to collaborate with the family for a year, until the adolescent manages to move forward and overcome the treatment stage agreed upon in the hospital.

"Jorge is currently receiving chemotherapy every 15 days, along with oral chemotherapy medications every 28 days. Doctors predict that Jorge will need these treatments for a year, along with additional surgeries depending on his progress," they point out in the campaign text.

The monthly need of mother and son is $1,760 and they need to raise about $21,120 dollars. The solidarity help of Cubans in exile is the hope that Jorge and his mother have to move forward and succeed in their fight against brain cancer.
