In another post, Maura shared her faith and her anguish: “God, after searching for this day and not finding my beloved daughter, after her husband and uncle also searched intensely and found nothing, bless my daughter who has been away from home since March 15.

The mother concluded her third message with a call for solidarity from the Cuban people: “Search and look into every house, every neighborhood, every province. It is a call to my people and to the authorities. It is about saving a life, a family, giving and bringing life to a human being, to their children, to their devastated parents. Urgent help.”

Doraiky was described as a woman with olive skin, gray hair, and hazel eyes, the mother of two children, and with a medical condition that requires urgent attention.

His family reports that more than seven months have passed without any answers or official updates regarding the investigation into his whereabouts.

The silence from Cuban authorities has heightened the desperation of relatives, who continue to share images and messages on social media.

Maura Vázquez reiterates that she will not give up, convinced that her faith and the solidarity of Cubans will be her only hope of embracing her daughter alive again.

Recently, Doraiky's family denied a rumor on social media claiming that the woman had been found deceased.

The false information was shared by the Facebook group "Noticia del Momento," managed by Yilian Arroyo, but was soon categorically denied by Damnielle Días Fernández, a relative of Doraiky.
