The story of Erick, the seven -year -old child of cancer who lives precariousness conditions in Pinar del Río, in the care of his 76 -year -old maternal great -grandfather, has circulated again on social networks.Although five months ago the secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba in San Luis promised the family that the State would grant it decent housing in 45 days, that promise still does not comply.

Cuban journalist Claudia Padrón Cueto, who released the case first, reported on Wednesday on her personal Facebook profile that Erick and her great -grandfather, Alberto Epifanio Aguiar Fernández, once more need help."They no longer require clothing, shoes and toys.Now they need food and some recharge on grandparents phone.They live in a rural community, and are incommunicado.That phone, that someone donated him, is the only way to ask for help they have, "he said.

According to Padrón Cueto, both will be on November 10 at the Pediatric Provincial Portilla Portilla for a medical shift that the child has."If you are in Pinar and you can take help you can go there or write to me internally and tell you where to leave the help to deliver it on November 10," said the reporter, who has been key in the mobilization of donations for thecase.

He also recalled that it is Aguiar Fernández who is responsible for serving Erick and that, although at the beginning, before his case became public, the child did not have a single pair of shoes, or clothes, or toys, or television,No fan, thanks to "good people donations, their conditions improved a bit".

However, the vive in the same poor condition that was months ago, in addition to being in a rural area.In a report published in June in Cubanet, Padrón Cueto explained: “The house is not much more than a front patio that precedes a portal, which is in turn followed by a living room with waste furniture and the donated television.Adjoining there is a main room to the width of the house where the two beds are, one joint to another.There is also a kitchen, which might seem evicted, and a half bath.Each room there is as precarious as the word allows imagining.On their heads they have a fiber roof with wood structure, damaged by the eat, which seems to collapse at any time ”.

"In the surroundings of the house they have a small land where there are some things thrown.Among them a brass that covers a cane.When it rains that cane flows into an oxidation lagoon located just in front.Then the mosquitoes and the bad smell arrive.Thus the entrance of the house is flooded and the water goes up, the portal passes and reaches the furniture.For that moisture the floor has cavities and the walls some slots, "added the text.

In addition, in the opinion of the journalist, "that house is not a place where a sick child and an old man can live," or any person."The local government knows and they have promised year after year that they will facilitate decent housing; but time passes, the leaders change and Alberto and Erick continue in the same place," he emphasized.

The type of cancer that Erick presents is a non -Hodking lymphoma, which is potentially dead.And two years later, they detected acute lymphocytic leukemia.Since then, Erick has spent much of his life in hospitals, has undergone several surgical interventions and chemotherapy treatments.

"Erick knows he is sick," said Claudia Padrón Cueto in June, "but does not understand gravity.He knows that he can't go to school and that many times he must be admitted, but how you explain to a seven -year -old boy what cancer is.Why would I have to understand or live it.Alberto, on the other hand, listens to doctors in the consultations, but does not accept the danger.His relatives have tried to talk about it, but he resists.For him it is inconceivable the possibility of surviving his biznieto.He believes that Erick is going to grow like any other child and it will be fine.Alberto is a Christian man, but above all, even God, he loves Erick ".

The grandfather's number is as follows: +5359299263.
