A fire caused by an electrical failure devastated three homes in the El Sapo neighborhood, Bejucal municipality, Mayabeque, and left three families completely without anything, including one with three affected children.
Although no fatalities or injuries were reported, the affected areas from last Tuesday, June 24, urgently need help to recover what was lost and meet their basic needs, according to the internet user Ismary Ferro, who has shared the case in the hope that people will show solidarity and provide assistance.
The affected families are: María Elena Pentón, an oncology patient; Yudamilkys Valdés Pentón, her husband, and their three daughters aged 6, 9, and 16; and Angier Acosta Medina, 47 years old, along with his son.
The incident occurred due to an electrical failure caused by a surge after a blackout. When the service was restored, the excess voltage triggered a power cut and a fire that devastatedthe three homes.
Currently, two families are housed in the Video Room, located at the corner of 2nd Street and 11th Street, while the third family remains at El Sapo, as the offered shelter is at risk of collapsing.
Donations of mattresses, bedding, basic furniture, non-perishable food, stoves or kitchen utensils, and hygiene and personal care items are requested.
The specific clothing and shoe sizes for each family member are detailed to facilitate donations. Additionally, support is requested from food manufacturing businesses, as families do not have food and there are three children and an elderly sick woman who require special attention.
