Cubans mobilize to help Camila, a girl from Camagüey who lives in extreme poverty.

Upon seeing a post circulating on social media that alerted about the precarious situation of a girl in Camagüey, journalist José Luis Tan Estrada first decided to confirm the veracity of the information and then provide assistance to the 10-year-old girl.

Tan published some details about the life of Camila on Facebook this Monday, a girl who lives with her father, who, due to vision problems, cannot take care of her properly.

"Camila is 10 years old, she likes math more than Spanish, according to what she tells me. She finished the school year with good grades and is going into sixth grade," she noted.

"But life has not given her good grades. She lives with her dad, who has serious vision problems and cannot take care of her. Not much is known about her mom, only that she lives somewhere in the East of the country,” the journalist also noted.

He added that Camila has no clothes or shoes and lacks good nutrition. "She wears size 38 and is very skinny. According to some neighbors, the girl 'has been through so much'."

Finally, she said that anyone interested in helping Camila and her father should write to her "to tell her the place where I will be collecting donations."

This story has found receptive ears among Cuban activists, who have shown a willingness to help this low-income family.

In the comments section, Yankiel Fernández, coordinator of the Humanitarian Project Aliento de Vida, expressed: "Here I have little clothes."

Johanna Jolá Álvarez, who leads the Huellas team, pointed out: "I would like to help the little girl. Could you collect donations if we send them from Havana?"

For his part, Eider Matos added: "And how do we send things from here, from Havana? My daughter can give him one or two pairs of shoes. No clothes because they would be way too big for him, but shoes yes, and in the best condition."

In the same way, Yaimara Obregón Han said: “My brother, I have some uniform blouses that will work for the new school year. I will let you know when I bring them to the República point where I work so you can pick them up. I think if you wear size 38, I have some shoes.”

In Cuba, children are one of the groups most affected by the economic crisis, which manifests in material shortages and inadequate nutrition.

This situation forces activists and family members to repeatedly turn to social media to seek help.

Recently, the relatives of a Cuban child suffering from the disease known as "butterfly skin" requested help to obtain the medications that the little one needs.

Liam was born with a chronic genetic disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa, known as "butterfly skin," which causes blisters to form on his skin from just scratching or from the friction of clothing, according to a Facebook post from the profile "ElMusk Reeve."

In last April, a 15-year-old Cuban teenager, who is battling brain cancer, needed support from the exile community to sustain himself in the United States where he was receiving medical treatment.

Jenniffer Williams started a campaign on GoFundMe to raise money for Jorge Domínguez and his mother Katheryne, who were in the United States with a health tourism visa, so that a hospital could treat the Cuban teenager sick with cancer.
