Raúl López is a desperate father looking for support to obtain themedications your child needs, suffer from common type B high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia, and provide them with the treatment they need.
The man expressed his gratitude to all the people who have reached out offering help and shared detailed information about the medications required for his son's treatment.
Among the necessary drugs are Mesna or Uromitexan in 400 mg bulbs, as well as Folinic Acid or Leucovorin in 500 mg bulbs.
In addition, intramuscular Asparaginase, Cyclophosphamide in bulbs, trocar #20 and #22, deep approach catheters, Braun Spinocan needles to perform the lumbar puncture, Medulogram #22.25, and anti-allergic tape are required.
Days before, López explained that in February, the minor was diagnosed with the disease, and despite the different treatments they have given him, the doctors recognized that they do not have the resources to properly care for the patient.
"No one is unaware of the shortage of medicines that we suffer, for whatever reasons," he lamented. "My son's life does not have a political color, because now he is torn between black and white. I just want that if tomorrow God decides for his life, it is not because here on earth we have not tried everything."
The father acknowledged that throughout this time he has received different types of help, from family, friends and strangers who live abroad, providing him with some medicines, but apparently it is insufficient.
"Help me share and make my cry of despair reach everyone who can, to see if together we can save the life of an innocent person," he concluded.

Cuba is currently going through a critical situation in the supply of medicines and medical supplies, which translates into poor quality health services and patients without the possibility of receiving proper care.
The authorities insist on blaming the US embargo for the crisis, but in practice it does little to get out of it.
Thanks to the solidarity actions of groups of Cubans, inside and outside the country, some medications in high demand are collected and distributed and are in short supply in pharmacies and hospitals,
Others depend on their relatives abroad, who must buy them and send them to Cuba, since the government authorized the free importation of these products, without commercial purposes.
Meanwhile, in places like La Cuevita, in Havana,medicines are freely sold, without control by the authorities and at prices that for some are impossible to pay.
