The charitable project "Aliento de Vida" requested financial assistance this Tuesday to continue its program supporting children and young people with cerebral palsy, an initiative that began four years ago.
The activist and project leader, Yankiel Fernández, explained on Facebook that they are currently assisting 12 children, but announced that "soon we will be supporting 15 in Havana and 20 in Pinar del Río."
Regarding the initiative, he shared a case for which he requested assistance. "One of my kids is hospitalized with severe epileptic seizures, and since this happened so suddenly, I need help to support him," noted the activist, who is actively engaged in solidarity efforts with individuals and families in need.
"Frank has a tracheostomy and gastrostomy, and he is one of those little ones that we love and cherish dearly," noted Fernández, who appealed for assistance from anyone able to contribute fruit juices, gelatins, milk, and yogurt.
The activist stated that anyone wishing to make a donation to support Frank's family can do so through monetary contributions to the account CUP 9224 9598 7881 8648, and confirm the donation by calling the number 58 04 77 06.
Recently, Fernández himself delivered clothing, food, disposable diapers, and medicine to people living in extreme poverty in the rural areas of Santiago de Cuba.
The activist shared on Facebook the moment when people living in the towns of the Sierra Maestra and other remote areas of the province received the donations.
Previously, the activist issued a call on social media to anyone who could help with donations for the children and other residents in those communities who lack basic necessities such as food, clothing, and medicine.
