Maura Vázquez, the mother of Doraiky Águila Vázquez, made a desperate public appeal this Sunday to locate her missing daughter, who requires urgent medical attention.

Doraiky, 48 years old, was described as a woman with very olive skin, gray hair, and large caramel-colored eyes. Her mother recalled that she has two children and a family "full of pain that is desperately searching for her."

"Check every house, every place. She needs family support and urgent medical help," Vázquez insisted, also requesting that, in case she is located, the family be notified immediately.

The distress over the disappearance of Doraiky Águila began on March 13, when she vanished in Havana without leaving any clear indication of her destination.

Since then, her case has been one of the most publicized on social media due to her mother's persistence and the lack of official responses.

During these months, her mother has reported the inaction of the institutional system, publicly demanding the lack of support from the authorities and holding the government directly responsible for not activating effective search mechanisms.

"I hold the Cuban government responsible if anything happens to my daughter," she stated at the end of June, in a declaration filled with pain and anger that received widespread public support.

On several occasions, the mother has insisted that her daughter requires specialized medical attention, which exacerbates the danger if she continues to go without help.

She has also shared open letters, messages of desperation and pleas for the public to stay alert for any signs that could lead to locating her.

Despite the citizens' mobilization, and the fact that her case has been widely covered by independent media, official institutions have not issued any specific informational statements, nor have they activated visible mechanisms for effective search or location.

Doraiky remains missing and has become a symbol of institutional neglect in urgent situations, of a mother's pain, and of a society that often has to compensate, with solidarity, for the absence of the State.
