Félix Flores Varona and Heidy Solano are Cubans living in Falkirk, Scotland. Three months ago Heidy was diagnosed with cancer and has been receiving treatment since. Given the advanced stage of her condition, the medical team have now advised that she will not be able to return to Cuba and have encouraged Felix to make arrangements for their two children Glenda (aged 21) and Felito (aged 18) to visit. Felix and Heidy have no recourse to public funds. Felix is only able to work part time because of Heidy’s care needs and will not be able to raise the funds to bring their two children to Scotland and support them during their stay.

Although we have reached our original target to cover the cost of travel, passports and visas etc, we are continuing to gratefully accept all donations to help fund Glenda and Felito's day to day living expenses during their stay in Scotland and ensure that the family are able to enjoy what time they have together.
