June 2015 Cuba still needs your help

By Paul Gezon | Board Member of First Hand Aid

Cuba's Malicon
Cuba's Malicon

Since December, the world has observed a progression of relations between the United States and Cuba that has not been witnessed in over 50 years.  Cuba has been removed from the United States' list of state sponsors of terrorism and the New York Cosmos recently played the Cuban national team in a friendly futbol match in Havana. American tourism has grown 36% following the that in diplomatic relations.  All of these events improve the hopes of those living in Cuba but Cuba needs your help now, just as much as they have in the past.

Since the improvements between the two countries, our volunteers have witnessed widespread shortages of food and health supplies in Cuba.  It seems that much of the resources made available to Cuban citizens are being shifted to accomodate the increase in tourism.  Without outside support many Cubans are suffering from a shortage of the most basic goods.  With your continued support, we aim to expand our reach to many more Cubans suffering from physical and mental disabilities. 

The struggle for Cubans is very real.  We thank you for opening your hearts to them and providing aid to their plight to achieve a healthy standard of life.  The program's recipients lives have greatly improved due to your generous donations. Thank you for all of your support!
