Cubans are rallying to support a young boy who sustained severe facial burns in a domestic accident. The child is currently hospitalized at the pediatric hospital in Matanzas, where essential medications are unavailable.

Miladys Vázquez, an internet user, shared the boy's plight on her Facebook wall, posting photos that reveal the extent of his injuries. "Please, it's urgent! This little boy suffered intense burns and is in critical condition. We appeal to the compassion of those who can provide medications, as the hospital where he is admitted lacks them," she pleaded.

"Efforts are ongoing to prevent inflammation in his respiratory and digestive tracts to ensure he can be fed. Needed medications include Nitrofurazone, Silver Sulfadiazine, and Mercurochrome," Vázquez specified.

She further clarified that while the family resides in Cárdenas, the severity of the child's condition necessitated his transfer to the hospital in the main municipality. Those willing to assist can reach out to his mother, Ani, at +5351481359.
