The 19-year-old Cuban young man Yordanis Nieves Méndez, who is bedridden due to a medical error in an operation he underwent in Cuba after an accident, asked for help to save his life in a hospital in the United States.
In a touching video where he thanked the campaign to help him promoted by the influencer Alain Paparazzi, the young man implored support to expedite his humanitarian visa in order to ensure his arrival in the United States, where a hospital would have accepted his case.
"I am asking for help so that I can leave here quickly. All the documents have been submitted, the passport has already been submitted, I need your help," said Yordy, as he is known on social media.
The young man showed that he is "shedding things through his neck, with fever, with anemia, with low blood pressure, I can't take it anymore," he said tearfully.
"Here you go to the doctor and they don't do anything, there are no medications or anything, they let you die here. I don't want to die," he said with deep sadness.
Alain said that the lawyers already have the documentation in hand and requested the support of Cuban-American politicians to expedite the process.
Yordy has been bedridden and living in subhuman conditions for two years due to a medical error during a surgery he underwent in Cuba after suffering an accident.
The bad procedure left him bedridden, with a gastric tube and extreme thinness, and the impossibility of a treatment that restores his health is added to the scarcity of food and poverty that exist in his house.
"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 in a recent video.
The patient reported that the family's economic situation is so precarious that they have even resorted to eating rotten beans or rice with chicken-flavored tablets.
