Havana, Feb 21 (RHC) The solidarity project 'Bridges of Love' contributed to bring back a young Cuban who emigrated to the United States a few months ago and had an accident.

According to the group's coordinator, Carlos Lazo, the boy was living in the state of Texas with his brothers, but "unfortunately he had a terrible accident that left him paralyzed and unconscious for months".

"He had surgery but specialists in the USA considered there was nothing else they could do for the patient since the chances of recovering and surviving are slim," the activist added on his official Facebook account.

Lazo said the young man’s mother, who lives in Cuba, as well as his brothers, contacted Puentes de Amor to help manage his repatriation, to see the possibility of him receiving medical attention on the island.

The coordinator of the initiative thanked the U.S. doctors who initially treated the patient; his brothers, who took care of him since he was released from the hospital, and all the people who in one way or another made this reunification trip possible.

In turn, Lazo expressed his gratitude to the authorities in Havana, to the Department of Attention to Cubans living abroad, and the Cuban embassy in Washington, "for being sensitive to this case and facilitating the documentation and procedures quickly, as well as coordinating the reception and medical attention of the patient in Cuba".  (Source: Prensa Latina)
