The young man Ángel Ernesto, who has been bedridden since 2018 due to an accident, has sought help to obtain necessary medications and medical supplies that are not provided by the Castro regime, in order to improve his quality of life.
The 20-year-old boy requested medical supplies, 30 mm urinary condoms, and anti-decubitus ointments, according to a video posted in the group "Luchemos por la vida" on the social network Facebook.
Ángel Ernesto expressed his gratitude to Osleidy Catala, who provided him with what he needed most: a pressure-relief mattress. This is essential for individuals confined to bed and one of the many resources that the government in Cuba is unable to supply.
"It's essential for preventing bedsores," said the young man, who also acknowledged the support he received from several kind individuals through the project Luchemos por la Vida.
The administrator of the Facebook group for this solidarity initiative shared a post that includes the phone number 59785601, with the aim of allowing anyone interested in helping to get in touch.
