These stories are provided by our CBF collaborator and their church community in Cuba.
Meet Rosalia, she is 22 years old, she became an orphaned a few years ago and is in charge of her little brother while also taking care of 3 children of her own; the youngest is a year old. They live in extreme poverty and after the hurricane everything became worse for them.
When our CBF collaborators visited her, she demonstrated little desire to live during their conversation.
Our collaborator shared “the moment we arrived we surprised her crying uncontrollably because she did not have anything to feed her children and brother. When her brother received lunch, he fell on his knees and gave thanks”.
Please keep praying for Rosalia and her 4 children. They are the face of Cuba.
