José Alfredo Cortés Cerón, the father of the minor, said in a telephone conversation with Efe from Mexico that Alfredo’s life changed in mid-2018 when an intense headache was presented as the first sign of cancer that has made them go through various medical institutions.

The young man he was treated in a specialized hospital in Mexico City, where he had surgery. However, the chemotherapy I was receiving at the end of 2019 It was not working.

We decided to send him to the United States because we knew he would have a better chance of finding a cure there.“, Explain Cuts.

Parents who they do not have a tourist visa, they preferred to send the minor under the care of his aunt María Gómez, while they were processing a permit to be together with the youngest of their three children.

The important thing was to save my son’s life; that’s why we decided to leave first“He narrated in a broken voice Graciela Montalvo, mother of the minor.

In a letter addressed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement Service (ICE), who is evaluating humanitarian leave, doctors from CHLA explained that the aggressive tumor that Alfredo suffers has not responded to chemotherapy and is progressing, so his illness is no longer considered curable by that means.
