Daymi Furcade Cateura, a Cuban mother who has been hospitalized since the beginning of May in the city of Austin, Texas, after suffering a stroke, continues to show significant signs of improvement.
Her brother, Damian Furcade, has posted several videos on TikTok in recent days documenting how Daymi is starting to eat on her own, blow kisses, understand questions that she answers affirmatively with her head, put on lipstick, or make attempts to comb her hair by herself.
In the face of each of those small advances, Damian always overflows with tenderness towards his sister and encourages her at all times to keep gaining autonomy.
It was in early May that Damián Furcade Cateura posted a touching video in which he asked for prayers and support from the Cuban community for his sister, who had a serious health issue just over a month after arriving in the United States through the CBP One app.
The family is trying to urgently arrange for the 16-year-old daughter of the sick Cuban woman, named Elizabeth Vanesa, and Daymi's mother, Haydée Cateura, to travel to Texas through a humanitarian visa.
On the other hand, the medical center where the woman is hospitalized prepared a document addressed to the Cuban consular section requesting a humanitarian visa to be granted to Daymi Furcade's family, as she needs them.
At the same time, Damián Furcade opened an account on the fundraising platform GoFundMe with a target of $30,000.
The reason I am raising funds is to alleviate the expenses at the hospital, plus the recovery that will take months or a year, as the doctors explain. These funds will be used for this entire long process that he will face at the hospital and then his recovery," he explained.
Unfortunately, Daymi Furcade is not the only Cuban mother residing in the United States who has been a victim of a stroke.
Arianna Hernández, another young Cuban mother who was diagnosed in a coma in Tampa after suffering a seizure and several strokes, also showed a miraculous improvement in a few weeks and was even discharged in recent days.
