Right now, Cuba is facing a severe moment of crisis. Amidst a devastating electrical blackout, a hurricane, and the ongoing brutal U.S. blockade, the Cuban people are facing urgent, life-threatening conditions. As neighbors, we have a responsibility to act and support the Cuban people in this moment of crisis. We aim to raise $100,000 to send essential supplies — generators and food — to the island.

Imagine if your neighbor’s home was plunged into darkness, and their family left without food or power. Would you stand by, or would you help? Right now, just 90 miles from our shores, this is the reality for millions of Cuban families. On top of natural disasters and the U.S. government’s deliberate attempt to strangle the Cuban economy and limit its ability to trade, the Cuban people are left in a dire situation. We must act now.

The Cuban people are resilient. They’ve faced over 65 years of a cruel U.S. blockade, but this moment is unique: the triple threat of blockade, hurricane, and blackout makes this moment especially urgent. Entire communities are left without power and resources to make it through the day.

We have a responsibility to help. Donate what you can and rally your community to support this urgent fundraiser for our neighbors in need.

Thank you for your incredible support of our Let Cuba Live: Bread for Our Neighbors campaign. Because of your generosity, we successfully delivered 800 tons of flour to produce bread for families in Cuba, offering hope and sustenance during a critical moment.

But Cuba needs us again. The Cuban people are now facing an unprecedented crisis — a triple threat of a devastating hurricane, ongoing blackouts, and the crushing U.S. blockade. Many are without power, people are struggling to rebuild, and families are facing food shortages.

We’re launching an urgent humanitarian aid campaign to send generators and food supplies, but we can’t do it without you. Your support right now could mean the difference between light and darkness for a family struggling under the weight of the U.S. blockade.

Can you help the Cuban people again? Donate now.

We know how much you care, and we’re grateful that you stand with Cuba. By donating, you will help provide immediate relief and send a powerful message of solidarity: that in their darkest and most challenging moments, our neighbors are not alone.

Please donate today and help us deliver life-saving aid to those most affected.

Thank you again for your unwavering support and compassion.

In solidarity,

Manolo De Los Santos
