The shelves at the food market in Buenavista (pop. 3,000) are empty. Gasoline to go find food somewhere is scarce. Electricity is out and no sure when it will be restored. Many people are affected with conjunctivitis (pink eye) not really sure if it is bacterial, viral, or because of allergies.
Remedios (pop 30,000) is working on finding food to feed the most disabled in the town and using a generator to help people to charge their cell phones.
These two towns are less than 10 miles from the north coast of Cuba where Irma landed as a Cat 5 hurricane.

Your donation will go 100% to help the small towns in the area get food and other needed things. It will be channeled through the church leaders who know their community and how best to help and we will have accountability through their activities.
To donate go to www.svccchurch.com/give and
select Cuba Mission from the drop-down menu.
