A devastating fire on Monday destroyed part of the home of Yoel and Baby, a humble couple dedicated to supporting the "Bienestar Animal Guantánamo" project for the past four years. This initiative focuses on helping stray animals in the eastern province of Cuba.
Roberto Carlos Frómeta, a broadcaster, shared on Facebook that the unfortunate incident caused the family to lose everything in their small kitchen and dining area, leaving this part of their home exposed. They are now attempting to repair it with fiber cement sheets.
Frómeta emphasized that these individuals, due to their community work for animal welfare, deserve some support. "With very little, and through their actions, they build a society with values and principles," he stated.
Frómeta highlighted that any donations, no matter how small, will be greatly appreciated to help them rebuild what was lost. He mentioned that contributions can range from kitchen utensils to furniture, as the family is in dire need of all types of support.
He also explained that those wishing to contribute can do so through the account 9205 1299 7069 6275 and confirm via 55141862. Material donations are also accepted at Los Maceo, between Donato Mármol and Varona, by asking for Yamirka Martín Matos, who will facilitate the assistance.
