Cristián and other young people were run over on Sunday, May 7, in front of a migrant shelter by the Mexican George Álvarez, 34, who at the time of the accident had marijuana, cocaine and the drug benzodiazepine in his system, according to US media.
Looking for a visa
On Tuesday afternoon, May 9, María took a bus to Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. She arrived around noon this Wednesday the 10th at the United States Embassy to apply for a humanitarian visa that allows you to reach Texas and look for his son. But she got no answer.
“I am at the Venezuelan embassy to see what they solve for me. I am desperate, ”she confessed.
María and her family are from Maracay, Aragua state. She has lived for five years in Santa Marta, Colombia. “I left Venezuela because I had no way to feed my children. My husband had two jobs and we no longer had enough money to eat, if we had breakfast we didn’t have dinner,” she said.
His son Cristián undertook his journey to the United States on March 21. The route included crossing the inhospitable jungle of the Darien, border between Colombia and Panama. “When he entered the Darién, my anxieties began. Anguish, after anguish, that if he went through Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras. On April 1, they decide to turn themselves in. On May 4, he comes out of there and tells me: ‘Mommy, I made it. I’m already in the United States. I asked him to take care of himself, not to be on the street”.
Cristián’s motivation for coming to the US was to give his family a quality of life. “My son’s dreams were to work and give me a better life, give me a house. I told him no, that I wanted to be with him. He told me: ‘in five years in Colombia we have raised a thousand dollars, I’m not complaining about Colombia, but I want to think big’”.
Cristian entered the Obispo Enrique San Pedro Ozanam Center on Saturday night, a shelter that serves migrants and the homeless in Brownsville. That night was the last time that Maria heard the voice of her son.
“I worked until 4 in the morning that day to get the $80 he needed. I fell asleep and didn’t hear when he called me at 6:14 on Sunday morning. I wrote to him at 9:00: ‘I am very angry that I did not answer your call, I hope you are well’. At 2:30 in the afternoon I found out about the accident.”
Maria just wants to get to Texas and locate her son. “When I arrive, I’m going to make sure that many mothers know where their children are.. I’m going for my son and for all those boys. That man wanted to do evil.”
