The solidarity project "Aliento de Vida" announced on Monday the launch of its artisanal soap sales in the United States, aiming to raise funds to benefit children and young people with cerebral palsy in Cuba.
Yankiel Fernández, the leader of the initiative, stated on Facebook that the goal is to cover shipping costs and acquire necessary resources for the development of the project, which is aimed at improving their quality of life.
The soaps, available both in-person and online, have been designed as part of a collective effort to create a positive impact in this vulnerable community, Fernández emphasized.
Moreover, he made a call for solidarity, urging people to share the information, even if they cannot contribute directly through a purchase.
In one of the images shared by the activist, it can be seen that the sale of handmade soaps is part of the Be One project, which aims to "alleviate the needs of sick and vulnerable individuals in Cuba."
Additionally, the message clarifies that "for every two soaps you purchase, we guarantee the delivery of a pound of medicine and food to those in greatest need."
In recent years, "Aliento de Vida" has made significant strides in supporting children and young people with cerebral palsy, as well as their families.
In October, the charitable project requested financial assistance to continue its program supporting children and young people with cerebral palsy, an initiative that started four years ago.
The activist and leader of the project, Fernández, explained on Facebook that they were helping 12 children, but announced that "soon we will be assisting 15 in Havana and 20 in Pinar del Río."
At other times, the activist has acknowledged that, thanks to the solidarity of people in the United States, “Aliento de Vida” has provided humanitarian aid to families of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy.
