The young Amanda Lemus Ortiz, whose story has touched the hearts of thousands both in and outside of Cuba, continues to show signs of recovery, according to a recent post shared on Facebook by activist Yamilka Lafita (Lara Crofs on the social media platform), one of the key figures in raising awareness about her case.
"Amanda has been recovering at full speed. She eats well, is active, and might even get a year-end pass," said Lafita, who also promised a "huge announcement" regarding Amanda's progress.
The message, which has sparked numerous reactions and expressions of support on social media, reflects the optimism and hope surrounding the girl's case after weeks of uncertainty and concern about her health.
"We continue," concluded the post, inviting everyone to continue accompanying this process full of ups and downs but also marked by significant progress.
Amanda has become a symbol of struggle and resilience amid a challenging health situation in Cuba.
Her situation galvanized communities both within and outside the country, coming together to provide support and solidarity. Over the past few months, her story has served as a reminder of the importance of cooperation and mutual aid in challenging times.
From the initial challenges of her treatment to the recent signs of improvement, Amanda's progress has been closely watched by thousands of people who have found in her story a reason to believe in the power of solidarity.
Amanda's relocation to Spain was originally prompted by a severe liver disease that required an urgent liver transplant, a procedure that could not be performed in Cuba due to a lack of specialized medical resources, despite having a donor, in this case, her father.
The seriousness of his condition and the need for advanced treatment prompted family, friends, and organizations to arrange for his transfer, which included an intense fundraising campaign and a significant mobilization on social media.
However, a recent and serious infection resulted in the little girl's latest hospital admission, as her health deteriorated due to this complication commonly seen in transplant patients because of the immunosuppression required to prevent organ rejection.
This condition complicated her health and required intensive care to stabilize her, which raised concerns among her loved ones and the community that is closely following her recovery.
