"Aliento de Vida" sends 500 pounds of donations to Guantánamo for victims of Hurricane Oscar.

The solidarity project “Aliento de Vida” sent the first six suitcases to Guantánamo, each weighing over 90 pounds, filled with clothing, shoes, sheets, towels, food, and hygiene products to support the victims of Hurricane Oscar.

With this initial shipment of over 540 pounds of donations, the organization aims to provide relief to those who have lost everything in the wake of the cyclone, reported Yankiel Fernández, the leader of the initiative, on Facebook.

Fernández emphasized that they are already distributing the initial aid and closely assessing the situation of those affected.

The activist expressed regret at not being able to attend; however, he noted that a delegation from the team traveled to Guantánamo to deliver supplies and provide support to families in vulnerable situations.

Additionally, he mentioned that these actions are evidence of the project's commitment to being present throughout Cuba and assisting those who need it most, in line with its philosophy of "leaving footprints" and bringing Aliento de Vida to every corner of the country.

Additionally, they announced that they will continue to collect donations for a second shipment in the coming days, expressing gratitude for the support from those who contributed money, clothing, food, medicines, and hygiene products.

"In our project, we do not rest, we do not stop, and we are certainly not playing when it comes to helping people," Fernández emphasized, highlighting the numerous hardships faced by those affected and the importance of this charitable work.

"Breath of Life," with Fernández in the lead, responded to the call of activist Yamilka Laffita—known as Lara Crofs—to collect humanitarian aid for those affected by Hurricane Oscar in eastern Cuba.

Fernández, who had announced the departure of donations heading to Guantánamo, expressed his gratitude "to all those who have supported us and have brought donations and made financial contributions for transportation and to cover expenses for some resources."

He also thanked Lara Crofs (Laffita) "for the initiative" and "for always being there for everyone," as well as "the followers and friends who have supported this cause of promoting the common good."

Various individuals, as well as independent organizations in Cuba and abroad, have been providing assistance to those affected by Hurricane Oscar, which left several communities cut off due to severe flooding in the eastern part of the country.

Among these initiatives, the activists of the "Huellas" solidarity project stood out by launching a social media campaign last Tuesday to support those affected.

Another individual who extended his supportive hand was the popular Cuban comedian Andy Vázquez, known for his character Facundo on the show “Vivir del cuento.” He made a call among his followers to assist those affected by the cyclone.

"I am here to ask the community for help, to all those who want to assist our brothers in eastern Cuba, who have lost everything. Interested individuals can contact me at 239-470-8181," said the actor on Instagram.
