The urgent demand forTania Marine, mother of the childOlek Gutiérrez, eight years old, has gone viral on social networks, after being shared by thousands of people.

Status "He has vascular necrosis, they had to cut more of the bone, the leg was much shorter”explained his mother.

For that reason, the child “has to have the blades for two years, the femur is very damaged, they bite and it falls apart. It must be treated like gold, the slightest movement or a fall will dislodge the bone and there is no remedy. Until he is a man, he has surgery and puts in prosthetics, and here in Cuba it is not being done.”

Distraught about her little son's condition, Marine expressed: “I'm dying, my little one has to walk again. God has to do that miracle. How do I tell my son, how can he understand that.”

However, in November, after a long and agonizing wait,The mother published that her son had undergone successful surgery.

However, Marine once again found it necessary to request people's collaboration, sinceAt the hospital they asked him to wear five rolls of plaster every week, for at least 12 weeks, to reinforce the cast that was placed on the child and ensure his recovery was satisfactory.
