COVID cases in Cuba continue to grow at a rapid rate. The number of COVID cases reported is under-estimated because there is a lack of material to do COVID testing. The expectation is that the crisis will grow because of the current lack of medication to treat COVID patients and lack of sanitizer, gloves, masks, and soap. Cuba is at the limit of the capacities they have in resources and medicines

Think about this: your family and your extended family is sick with symptoms associated with COVID. But you do not know if it is indeed COVID because there is no test available. Even if you knew, the medication to treat COVID is not available. But suppose it is not COVID and the doctor wants to treat the symptoms, still the medication is not available.

Because of your generous support, Aliento Cuba has been able to send 11 boxes, each weighing 20 pounds, with medicines and medical supplies to pastors in the North central province of Villa Clara to help their communities. These boxes have antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications used in the treatment of COVID and other medications and medical supplies. It is a hope, a life line — even if it takes 4 to 6 weeks for the package to arrive. It is our prayer that these boxes arrive intact into the hands of the pastors.

We need to send more boxes — others are waiting. To participate, click the button below
