The Cuban doctor Wall Moreno Díaz, residing in Guatemala, published a message full of emotion and concern about the situation in Cuba on Facebook.
His text was not a political analysis nor a direct denunciation, but a public prayer that, in every line, depicts the depth of the crisis affecting the Island.
"Today my heart does not write… it prays. Cuba… my land," he begins. From abroad, far from his homeland, he recalls with pain the situation of "the island that saw me born, that taught me to walk, to dream, to resist."
Throughout his message, Moreno Díaz clearly outlines the situation faced by many families: "You know the absence that is felt in many homes: the lack of food, the shortage of electricity, the days without water, the long nights where uncertainty weighs more than silence. You know the exhaustion of a people who have learned to survive with dignity."
Her words sum up a reality marked by frequent blackouts, basic shortages, and daily challenges that have become part of the routine.
In the midst of one of the worst economic crises in decades, thousands of Cubans have decided to emigrate in search of stability and opportunities that they cannot find within the country.
Among them are numerous health professionals, including Moreno Díaz himself, who are currently practicing outside their homeland while their loved ones remain there.
The young man dedicated part of his prayer to them: "I ask you for my family that is over there. Protect them. Cover them with your hand. May they not lack for bread, may they not lack for health, may they not lack for hope when everything seems dark."
He also prayed for those facing scarcity daily: "For every mother trying to create meals where there are none, for every father who struggles in silence, for every elderly person in need of medicine, for every child who deserves a better future."
The reference to the shortage of medicines and food is not a coincidence. The scarcity of basic products and the deterioration of public services have defined the daily life of the population. Inflation and insufficient income have eroded purchasing power, while blackouts and instability in water supply aggravate social strain.
Moreno Díaz mentioned those who still hold on to hope for the future even amid the collapse. "For those who connect when there is a signal, for those who pray in silence while waiting for a change. Lord, strengthen their hearts. Do not let despair extinguish their faith."
In another passage, he pleaded: "My God, bring provision where there is scarcity. Bring light where there is darkness. Bring solutions where there seems to be no way out. Bring peace where there is distress."
The phrase that encapsulates the spirit of his message is powerful: "Cuba is not just a territory. It is its people. And its people deserve dignity, deserve stability, deserve a future."
The post concludes with a direct invocation: "Lord, bless Cuba. Bless my family. Bless every Cuban inside and outside the island. Amen."
Beyond its religious nature, the doctor's publication puts a human face on a prolonged crisis that has caused an unprecedented exodus.
The massive exodus of professionals, including doctors trained in the state system, is a visible consequence of economic deterioration and lack of hope. Many continue to help from afar, while their words reflect a constant concern for those who were left behind.
