Alina, a mother from Cárdenas, Matanzas, is wholly dedicated to caring for her son Yaciel, who suffered from cerebral palsy when he was just a baby. This situation radically changed her life, forcing her to leave her profession as a nurse to meet all of her son's needs. Today, Yaciel is 37 years old and is completely dependent on her.
Christian Arbolaez shared his story this Sunday in the group “Cardenenses en Facebook”, describing the extreme conditions in which they live.
Alina and Yaciel reside in a house located at Obispo 314, between Anglona and Spriu, which is in critical condition.
The walls are deteriorated, the bathroom and kitchen show severe damage, and although the roof is still standing, they lack the necessary resources to carry out repairs.
Additionally, Yaciel needs his food to be processed with a blender, and Alina's income barely covers the essentials.
In light of this situation, Arbolaez has launched a solidarity campaign to raise funds aimed at improving the quality of life for this family.
The main objective is to repair their home and provide them with essential items such as a blender, a washing machine, and a pressure cooker.
It also aims to provide financial relief so that Alina can continue taking care of her son without so many limitations.
Interested individuals can help from abroad through electronic transfers to contacts established by the organizers, while in Cuba, they can contribute via transfers to a card in Cuban pesos or by contacting the team leading the initiative.
Arbolaez also called for sharing this story on social media to increase its reach, inviting the community to actively participate in this noble cause.
This campaign represents an opportunity to change the reality for Alina and Yaciel, who face enormous challenges every day.
Solidarity can make a significant difference by providing the minimum necessary conditions for living with dignity and hope.
"Cardenenses on Facebook" is one of the most dynamic communities on social media, known for fostering solidarity in the Matanzas region. Its administrators not only highlight the local history and idiosyncrasies, but also frequently promote humanitarian aid initiatives, strengthening the spirit of mutual support among its members.
Recently, activists managed to make the dream of rewarding a woman a reality who, for 35 years, has sold peanuts on the streets, becoming an icon for generations of residents in that city.
Kiryat Poey shared a reel on Facebook that shows the touching moment when they handed the money to the lady, who sold peanuts for decades at the corner of Vives and Calzada.
