They are looking for a blood donor in Havana for a baby with the "disease of God."

Cuban activist Idelisa Diasniurka Salcedo Verdecia made an urgent call on Monday seeking a blood donor for a baby in Havana suffering from a rare condition, popularly known as "God's disease."

According to their post, baby Mateo Domínguez Serrano, who suffers from hematohidrosis, "is seriously ill and urgently needs a B Negative blood donor," Salcedo wrote on Facebook.

In her post, the activist reported that the baby is in Havana, at the Juan Manuel Márquez Hospital, located in Santa Fe, and indicated that there is no availability of the necessary blood type, which has led the mother to a desperate situation.

"They are asking for 5,000 pesos for the donation, I know it's inconceivable, and what I need is for someone to make the blood donation," Salcedo reported, warning that the request for help is a matter of "life or death."

Finally, Salcedo urged those who can help to contact the baby's mother directly at the number 5350507673 to coordinate blood donations and provide the necessary support in this critical moment.

Recently, baby Mateo and his family received a washing machine, an air conditioner (split), and a fan, thanks to the solidarity generated by the difficult situation the little one is facing, who suffers from hematohidrosis, a rare condition that causes him to sweat and cry blood.

In 2020, CiberCuba interviewed the mother of Dianelis González Medina, a Cuban who at that time was 32 years old and had a four-year-old daughter, and whose life was normal until 2017 when she began to cry and sweat blood.

“She has the disease of God,” said her mother, referring to her daughter’s ailment, a very rare condition mentioned in a biblical passage about Jesus in the Garden of Olives.

The Gospel according to Saint Luke states that after the Last Supper, Jesus went to pray on the Mount of Olives, where he was seen sweating blood.

"And being in agony, he prayed more intensely; and his sweat was like great drops of blood falling to the ground." (Chapter 22, verse 44).

Suffering from that rare disease made Dianelis González Medina ask for support from the international scientific community and offer herself as a volunteer for research on the hematidrosis she was experiencing.
