"Even if a thousand giants rise against me, I will not fear. Even though out there there are 4 or 5 trying to harm a ministry that has been active for over 9 years, up above there is a God who tells us, 'You keep walking, and I will support you,'" the activist stated.

The intervention in Lawton is part of a series of initiatives that "Aliento de Vida" has been implementing for nearly a decade, providing assistance to vulnerable families in highly precarious situations.

Fernández expressed gratitude to the donors who make these actions possible, stating: “Thanks to that angel who constantly helps us continue doing good.”

The case of this mother and her four children reflects the deep needs that many Cuban families face, especially in urban contexts where the deterioration of infrastructure and the lack of housing alternatives exacerbate living conditions.

However, initiatives like this demonstrate that solidarity remains a key tool for facing adversity.

The work of "Aliento de Vida" and its commitment to social causes continues to make a difference, reaffirming the importance of community action and mutual support in times of crisis.

Recently, the activist called on the community to organize various Christmas activities aimed at children, the elderly, and vulnerable individuals in Havana.

In a Facebook post, Fernández outlined the efforts and agenda for the upcoming days, which include the distribution of toys, sweets, and Christmas dinners in hospitals, neighborhoods, and underprivileged areas.
