The solidarity initiative "Aliento de Vida," led by Yankiel Fernández, made a call to the community on Monday to carry out various Christmas activities aimed at children, the elderly, and those in vulnerable situations in Havana.
In a Facebook post, Fernández outlined the efforts and agenda for the upcoming days, which include toy deliveries, pastries, and Christmas dinners in hospitals, neighborhoods, and disadvantaged areas.
“Currently, we have five activities planned, and we need the cooperation and support of everyone to purchase more items. Our WhatsApp group has already contributed, but the assistance of this wonderful community is also essential,” she expressed.
Among the planned activities is an event at the Oncological Hospital and the Juan Manuel Márquez Hospital, where toys and sweets will be distributed to 50 children at each facility.
They are also organizing a Christmas dinner for 35 needy children, complete with food, toys, and sweets.
The initiative also includes providing food to 50 homeless individuals on the streets of Old Havana, a tradition that the group has consistently maintained.
Additionally, "Aliento de Vida" will hold a Christmas party in a neighborhood or rural village, where they will distribute toys and candies to 50 children.
Finally, on December 26 and 27, they will hold a special celebration with seniors, volunteers, and staff, expecting to gather around 50 people.
The initiative will culminate in the celebration of the Three Kings Day, an event dedicated to the most needy children, where toys, balloons, drawing materials, and treats will be distributed.
Those interested in joining this cause can contribute by donating resources such as toys, balloons, sweets, and colors, or by making financial contributions to the following accounts: CUP: 9224 9598 7881 8648 and MLC: 9225 9598 7553 4866.
Fernández emphasized that “it doesn't matter the quantity, what matters is the action,” highlighting the importance of solidarity in bringing joy and hope to those who need it most during this holiday season.
As the calendar nears the end of its pages, various activists and solidarity initiatives are coming up with ideas to provide some relief to those in greatest need.
In an act of solidarity and commitment to the most vulnerable communities, the solidarity project "Huellas" launched an initiative to provide a dignified Christmas dinner for more than 100 families in Guantánamo, who were affected by Hurricane Oscar and are living in extreme poverty conditions.
In addition to food, the campaign aims to bring material donations and hope to these families facing a deep crisis.
