Amanda Lemus Ortiz, the Cuban girl suffering from biliary atresia, a serious liver disease, has faced numerous challenges in her quest for a liver transplant. Her diagnosis prompted her family to mobilize intensely to secure adequate treatment outside of Cuba, given the limitations of the local healthcare system. Thanks to the active campaign led by activist Yamilka Lafita and the support of the international community, Amanda was granted a humanitarian visa and transferred to Spain, where her father volunteered to be a donor for the transplant.
In Spain, Amanda has undergone several surgeries and treatments, demonstrating remarkable resilience and a strong desire to live. Despite the deterioration of her health, her condition has begun to stabilize thanks to the medical care she has received. The Cuban community and people from around the world continue to support her family to cover the expenses associated with her treatment and stay abroad. Amanda's story not only highlights a girl's fight for her life but also the solidarity of many individuals coming together to help her.
