Thanks to donations, the body of Andreea (the young woman who drowned in Cubillas) has been repatriated

The body of the young woman who drowned in Cubillas swamp on Sunday last week will now be returned to her homeland. After Doctors of the World in Granada managed to raise the money in record time, the body of the young woman is now on its way to Romania. This was thanks to the donations of Granadans who responded in kind to the NGO's appeal for assistance. Andreea's family was the name of the young Romanian. They didn't have enough financial resources to pay for the transfer of her body to their country. Doctors of the World intervened in the Roma-Gypsy settlement of Camino de los Plasterers and decided to assist them.

They could have gone to the institutions in principle. But the answer was no. There aren't public funds available to finance this type case. However, the truth is that some repatriations were funded by the Granada City Council through the budget item for burials. social).

Doctors of the World had to rely on other associations and organizations in Granada to solicit donations to help them raise the 3,500 euros they needed. They used their contacts to send a request for donations via the Bizum app to a number. They succeeded. They had only 48 hours to complete the task and last night, another message was sent out announcing that they had raised enough money. Andreea, aged 19, was taken yesterday to her homeland, where she will be laid to rest.

Doctors of the World thanked Andreea's family for their support and solidarity.
