Preparations are underway in Miami to say goodbye to young Geobel Damir Ortiz next week. The child, who passed away in the Sunshine City, had endured years of inadequate medical care and failed treatments in Cuba. Activist Idelisa Diasniurka Salcedo Verdecia announced on social media that the Cuban exile community will have the opportunity to pay their final respects to Damir on Sunday, April 20, at the Caballero Rivero Funeral Home in Hialeah.
The funeral services will take place from 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm, offering a time for mourners to grieve the child who arrived in the United States in critical condition on March 12. This was after an intense fundraising campaign spearheaded by his mother, supported by several activists and doctors who dedicated their hearts and efforts to save his life.
Salcedo shared that the funeral home is located at 373 W 9th St #377, Hialeah, and expressed gratitude towards the company's staff for their professionalism. The ashes of the Cuban boy will remain in Miami, where his mother, Eliannis Ramírez, has applied for political asylum.
