Young man assaulted with machete in Holguín asks his father to get him out of the country: "Try through Nicaragua"

Lester Domínguez, the young man who has been in a wheelchair for over a year after being violently assaulted with a machete in Holguín, asked his father to take him out of the country because in Cuba there are no conditions for his recovery.

Dennis, the young man's father, shared on his Facebook profile that he is currently trying to admit the young man to the Julito Díaz Hospital in Havana, to start some therapy that will enable him to walk again.

"The child sees that everything becomes more difficult with the problems of blackouts in Cuba and does not have the necessary conditions for such development, he tells me that the best way I can help him is by leaving the country," he said.

We have many relatives abroad and in the end always with nothing to show for it, and in order to avoid asking for charity for their recovery, he tells me to try it for Nicaragua. Let me see if I can fulfill his request, even if it's the last thing I do in life," he emphasized.

This is not the first time that Dennis has mentioned the possibility of taking his son out of Cuba, afraid that the boy will not fully recover from the crisis facing the healthcare system.

At the beginning of November, this heroic father showed his determination to take him away. "Let's hope he continues to improve, so we can already take him out, even if it's to Nicaragua, because we have to continue his rehabilitation that has been going on for eight months, and in Cuba there are no resources," he lamented.

Days later, he announced that he would try to make the journey from Nicaragua to the United States, because he did not see the humanitarian visa procedure clearly.

The next step will be through Nicaragua, since obtaining a visa through humanitarian aid from the United States is not looking good, and we cannot just stand by and do nothing," he stressed.
