Asking for Support; Please consider making a donat

Living through extended power outages can be incredibly challenging, especially when basic necessities like water and electricity become unavailable for weeks. Many families in Cuba are currently facing this harsh reality, which affects daily life in every way—from cooking meals and preserving food, to heating homes and maintaining communication. Through my experience helping communities during power crises, I’ve seen how vital generators are. They provide a reliable backup source of electricity that supports essential functions and brings a measure of normalcy and safety. However, generators require fuel, and with current fuel shortages, sustaining power can be difficult even with generators alone. That’s why this fundraiser is so important. By raising funds through a food sale featuring Cuban and Caribbean dishes—like empanadas, curry chicken, and jerk-flavored meals—100% of the proceeds go directly to purchasing and shipping generators to families in need. It’s a grassroots effort that highlights the power of community support. If you’ve ever experienced the inconvenience of a blackout, imagine the prolonged impact on families who lack running water and electricity for weeks. Supporting initiatives like this one not only helps with immediate relief but strengthens resilience until the broader infrastructure issues are resolved. For anyone looking to contribute further, sharing this fundraiser within your networks can amplify the impact. Every small gesture counts in bringing aid and hope to those affected. Together, we can help ensure that these Cuban families regain access to the vital resources they deserve.
