00:00 Hello, good afternoon to everyone.
00:02 This video is to confirm that my mother is alive, my mother is not dead, as my brother had told me.
00:08 My brother had told me that he had fallen down a ravine, that he had been hit in the head,
00:12 that a hole had opened in his head with a lot of blood, and that he had been buried on the 15th at night.
00:19 And the God tells us in Cuba on the 17th.
00:21 Yesterday, thanks to a Venezuelan who passed, who I am eternally grateful to, if you are watching this video, let him know.
00:27 A Venezuelan gave him medical assistance, they gave him some candies because he was dehydrated.
00:33 He had been alone for six days, alone, completely alone, in that river, there, in those abandoned stones.
00:40 And thanks to a coyote, it was that this news came to me, from the Venezuelan's video, that she was alive.
00:46 I cried a lot, we cried, we were praying, because my brother had made me believe that she was dead.
00:53 And it was a lie, my mother was injured, and he had supposedly gone out to seek help, and never returned.
01:00 She had a fractured leg, and there she left her lying in the river, there, about to grow up in the river and be able to take care of herself.
01:07 And she, thinking that she was going to return, and never returned, she left her abandoned.
01:12 But well, thanks to God and to all that exists, to all the support of all of you, and my mother is in a clinic,
01:17 in Metetida Arien, not as she would have liked, but well, they are attending to her, they are healing the injuries she has.
01:24 And I live in Brazil, I need to bring her with me.
01:27 What I ask the most is that you help me, that Brazil helps me with a humanitarian visa, and to be able to bring my mother with me.
