Cubans in Miami send medicine to dozens of children in Cuba.

These Cubans have already organized other donations to help people on the island who are going through an acute crisis due to shortages of medicines, food, and basic necessities.


A group of Cubans in Miami organized a collection of medications to send as donations to dozens of sick children and elderly people in Cuba.

In the midst of the health crisis that the country is facing, and the acute shortage that Cubans are suffering, the administrator of the website Pesca en Miami organized a donation that will soon reach about fifty families on the island.

The packages are personalized, each includes a thermometer, specific medicines for the illnesses of sick children, and some basic necessity items.

Preparing this type of donation from Miami to Cuba requires a lot of time, and the packages must be assembled during the short free hours that these supportive people have. However, they assure that the effort is worth it because they feel the gratitude of those in need.

"Everything is done with evidence. The people who have written to me have sent the medical reports," said the coordinator.

"I don't have money to send packages to Cuba, we do that thanks to the agency of José Ramírez, one of the people who helps the most in this cause," he pointed out.

Those who wish to donate items to Cuba from the United States can contact Pesca in Miami using the contact numbers listed on their social media.

What is needed above all are medicines, food, and mosquito nets, because the government does not sell them in the country despite the health crisis caused by dengue and the Oropouche virus.

The fishing group in Miami and "José's agency" have collaborated on other donations for Cubans, providing support to influencer and comedian Limay Blanco.

In April, this group conducted a large collection of essential items, food, and medications that benefited a hundred Cuban families.

Cases of fever are being reported across the island, particularly due to the increase of the Oropouche virus and dengue, both transmitted by mosquitoes.

The pharmacies are out of stock and there are no painkillers or antipyretic medications to treat children's fever. This harsh reality has prompted the group of Cubans in the United States to show their solidarity with the people on the island who are in a vulnerable situation.
