A heartfelt act of kindness brought hope to several families in Matanzas last Saturday, when activists from Cárdenas, in partnership with a private restaurant and the humanitarian group Solidarity, organized the distribution of 27 meals to individuals in need, including members of the National Association of the Blind (ANCI).
Christian Arbolaez shared in the "Cardenenses en Facebook" group that the menu, thoughtfully prepared with the support of the bar-restaurant "El Chinito," featured yellow rice with pork, vegetable salad, and a hearty stew.
The meals were delivered directly to the homes of the recipients and at the ANCI headquarters, ensuring that the assistance reached those most in need, he emphasized. This initiative was born from a fundraising campaign led by the group of activists, which successfully inspired other organizations to join the cause.
This collective effort highlights how unity and determination can significantly impact the lives of the most vulnerable. The organizers stressed the importance of continuing to work together to address the growing needs of the population and expressed gratitude to everyone who helped make this charitable action possible.
Just a week ago, amidst the economic challenges facing Cubans, this group of volunteers from Cárdenas organized a solidarity event to distribute food to needy families during the Christmas season. Kiryat Poey reported in the Facebook group "Cardenenses en Facebook" that the initiative, led by Idalmys and supported by several community members, involved preparing meals in her own home, which was transformed into an operations center for this charitable cause.
