"I am trying to set up a GoFundMe, but they have not reviewed it yet (...) I ask all my friends and family who can to lend a helping hand and I infinitely thank you in advance," said the resident in the city of Houston, Texas.

The funds will be used to send my husband's body and try to cover the expenses for my child and me in our home at this very difficult time, because everyone knows how challenging it is here when it's just one person," the young woman, who takes care of children in her home, added in her post.

Likewise, he stated: "My one-year-old child and I are grateful to all those who have supported us in one way or another during this very difficult time for us."

A week ago, the murder of Cuban Eric Marcos Reyes Pupo in Mexico shocked his family and friends, who asked for help to repatriate the body to his hometown of Puerto Padre, in Las Tunas.

The young man was only 26 years old and had emigrated to Mexico with the hope of starting a new stage of life in the United States territory, reuniting with his mother.

Likewise, Cubans in the U.S. raised funds to repatriate the body of Yasmani, a fellow countryman who was shot dead after a traffic accident in Houston, Texas.

Thaylien Brindis and Eliany Gómez, two Cuban women who passed away in March in Las Vegas, received the final goodbye from their loved ones in their homeland, Santiago de Cuba, after the support received from the community of Cuban emigrants.
