They donate a thousand dollars to a 19-year-old Cuban youth who has been bedridden for two years.

From the United States, Osmani García and an immigration lawyer are trying to process a visa for the young man. "We are going to get you out of Cuba, bro."


The case of Yordanis Nieves Méndez, a Cuban who is only 19 years old, has been bedridden and living in subhuman conditions for two years, has touched many compatriots who have not hesitated to offer their help.

The influencer Alain Lambert, known as The Cuban Paparazzi, raised one thousand dollars in his show, which were handed to Yordanis in person.

"I am very happy with the support that the Paparazzi team has always given me, and once again, we have shown that we make a difference in the Cuban community," the YouTuber said on his Instagram account alongside a video in which the sick boy thanked the donors.

From the United States, singer Osmani García and immigration lawyer Miguel Inda-Romero (known as sincere lawyer) are trying to manage a visa to bring Yordanis out of Cuba.

After watching the video that Yordanis shared this week, in which he pleaded for a humanitarian visa to receive medical treatment abroad, the reggaeton artist asked for a phone number to get in touch with the young man.

We are going to get you out of Cuba, buddy, 19 years old. Who has the number? This video is about to give me a heart attack, I am too old for these emotions. Send urgent contact to the sincere lawyer," demanded the singer on his Instagram.

The comedic duo Los Pichy Poys also commented on the situation of the bedridden boy, and recalled that cases like his are seen every day in Cuba.

I feel so proud of our brothers, the sincere lawyer and Osmani García, who have joined forces to try to save this poor young Cuban man who is desperately asking for help from the island," they said on Instagram.

"Thank you Migue and Osmani for everything you are doing, not all heroes wear capes, some dress in suits and others go through life spreading music covered in tattoos," they added.

The story of Yordanis Nieves Méndez went viral days ago, when he shared a video in which he pleaded for a humanitarian visa to receive medical treatment abroad, after two years bedridden and with no possibilities of improvement in Cuba.

The young man finds himself in that sad situation due to a medical error in an operation he underwent in his country after suffering an accident.

The botched procedure left him bedridden, with a gastric tube and extreme thinness, and the impossibility of receiving treatment to restore his health is compounded by the scarcity of food and the poverty that exists in his home.

"I am asking the world for help. Please do not let me die here, a 19-year-old boy, do not leave me in this prison," he pleaded.

" I have no freedom, set me free, please, I am asking you. Be human and help me, I am asking and begging you not on my knees, because I cannot move them, if not..." added.
