The Huellas Project sends over 300 boxes of donations to those affected by Hurricane Oscar in Guantánamo.

The solidarity initiative "Huellas" announced this Thursday the shipment of a total of 300 boxes of donations for those affected in Guantánamo after Hurricane Oscar passed through.

Johanna Jolá Álvarez, the project leader, explained on Facebook that this Thursday the team is "packing the last boxes that will depart today for Guantánamo."

He stated that "Huellas" will face the challenge of transporting two cribs with mattresses, three wheelchairs, three televisions, a pair of crutches, a stroller, and 140 boxes of donations "so compressed that they are difficult to lift."

"The days have been challenging for gathering and collecting as much as possible, multiplying the love with which it is given and the love with which it will be received," emphasized Jolá, who highlighted that all this has been possible thanks to "the kindness of this immense community that gives not from what it has in excess, but from the little it possesses."

The leader of the "Huellas" project expressed special thanks to the children who donated their toys: "A heartfelt letter has been delivered to us from Niurka Vega's child for his little friends in Guantánamo, and we will be giving it to them."

Additionally, he highlighted the donations made by the "Mariana Grajales" Primary School and the National Anti-Doping Center of Cuba, as well as the contributions from retirees and pensioners who supported the fundraising "despite their limited finances," he pointed out.

Regarding the shipment of boxes with donations, Jolá expressed gratitude to "our liniero friends who reached out to offer their support," as well as to the Ministry of Transportation, Eduardo Rodríguez, noting that "it is possible that everything collected will be on its way to Guantánamo today."

Finally, the leader of "Huellas" expressed the great satisfaction her team felt in supporting the loved ones of those affected, "who have come to our headquarters to provide assistance to their relatives who have lost everything."

A few hours after the cyclone struck the province of Guantánamo, the most affected area in the eastern region, Jolá organized a donation campaign through social media.

Several activists had the same idea: to provide relief to families who lost their belongings.

The activist Yamilka Laffita -known as Lara Crofs- organized a humanitarian aid campaign for those affected by the hurricane's destruction, intending to send non-perishable food, clothing, shoes, medicines, hygiene products, and other items, such as toys for children.

One of the projects that responded to the call was the solidarity initiative "Aliento de Vida," which reported on Wednesday the shipment of the first six suitcases, each weighing over 90 pounds, filled with clothing, shoes, sheets, towels, food, and hygiene products to support those affected by Hurricane Oscar in Guantánamo.

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