Thanks to the solidarity among Cubans, particularly the kind gestures of those living in the migrant community, some unmet needs ignored by the regime on the island are being addressed, as evidenced by a recent donation of a gas stove to an elderly couple with limited resources.
The gesture of solidarity was made through the "Aliento de Vida" initiative, led by activist Yankiel Fernández.
"Last Thursday, we were fortunate to continue our support, this time with a gas stove that our collaborator in the U.S. sent us for a couple among our elderly who had their kitchen in poor condition and had been unable to cook for several days," noted the promoter and liaison of the solidarity initiative on Facebook.
The activist noted that they carry out these acts of solidarity thanks to "the wonderful team" they have in Miami, Cape Coral, and Naples.
Fernández shared a gallery of images showcasing the joy of this couple as they received the donation.
It is common for gestures of solidarity to emerge within the community of Cuban emigrants.
Recently, the Cuban comedian Limay Blanco sought help for a mother of three girls who is homeless and is currently sleeping with them in a doorway.
Limay went with his wife Glenda and Lino Tomasen, known as "The Cuban Iron Man," to the neighborhood of Taco Taco in Pinar del Río, where they assessed the living conditions of that family.
Recently, a Cuban mother reached out to her fellow compatriots for help in supporting a child suffering from lupus, a chronic illness, whose family is facing financial difficulties.
Taili Pérez, a resident of Havana, shared on her Facebook the story of the little boy who studies with her son at school.
