Activists deliver new home to mother and three children in Sagua de Tánamo.

The mother and her three underage children lived in a cardboard house that was frequently flooded with sewage water. This situation prompted activists to seek a new, decent home for them.


A large family, composed of a mother and her three young children, who lived in precarious conditions in the municipality of Sagua de Tánamo in Holguín, received with great joy this Monday the keys to a decent home, managed by a group of Cuban activists.

"There is news that, even though you prepare yourself to hear them, it is very different when you experience them. Today has been one of those days," said young mother Deysi Columbié Hernández on Facebook, who admitted that she had been praying for years for a solution for her family, and also enduring broken dreams, lies, and false promises."

Columbié thanked the people she called "the invisible ones," mentioning that she "only saw the phone number," referring to those who contributed the money that now allows her and her three young children to leave the precarious housing where they lived, which was flooded with sewage water.

Each one who shared a little bit: a thousand thanks, may God bless you forever," he pointed out.

The activist Johanna Jolá Alvarez, one of the main promoters of the initiative to obtain decent housing for this Cuban family, expressed her joy on Facebook: "It was achieved! Among all of us, with our little contributions, once again we achieved that much-needed goal."

"Among the Cubans here, those from here and there, and the immense contribution of our dear friend Luckas and his solidarity movement, another Cuban family emerges from the most extreme poverty," the activist pointed out.

The ordeal of living among sewage waters in a house full of bugs and pests is coming to an end. A better future begins for those 3 young children thanks to solidarity," he pointed out.

In another post, Jolá highlighted the moment when the mother and her three children received the key to their new home: "Today those 3 Cuban children will sleep under a safe roof. Their mom has a new hope to fight, to decorate, to undertake a better future despite everything," she expressed on Facebook.

It is not the first time that some families, for various reasons, achieve the dream of having a decent home thanks to the work of activists and the solidarity of the community, rather than the management of the regime.

Recently, the comedian Limay Blanco delivered the 37th house this weekend to a mother with two children who were living in inhuman conditions.

In a video posted on his social media, the comedian explained that the process of buying and fixing up this home took almost four months because it was very hard to gather the necessary money.

Just ten days ago, Blanco also handed over house number 38 to a Christian couple of pastors.
