$6,000 Matching Fund to fulfill Code Pink project to raise $55,000 to send Milk for Cuba’s Children

Dear friends of Cuba,

Code Pink and Carlos Lazo, founder of Puentes de Amor, are raising $55,000 to send milk to Cuba for hospitalized children. They are close to fulfilling their goal, now at $41,000. We are having a $6,000 matching find to help raise the rest so the milk can be sent. Let’s Send Milk to the Children of Cuba! – CODEPINK – Women for Peace. 

Previously, Code Pink and Puentes de Amor brought over 25,000 pounds of powdered milk that they delivered to pediatric hospitals throughout the country with the help of the Martin Luther King Center. This was only possible through your generous donation that will help Cuban families during a difficult time in the country. Children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with medical needs normally receive free powdered milk, but the pandemic and Trump- Biden sanctions disrupted food supplies, leading to a shortage.

 Code Pink says, “We are relying on your generosity to make this “fábrica de sueños” come true. Your gift will not only help the children of Cuba, it will also show your rejection of a U.S. government policy aimed at strangling the Cuban economy and causing hardships for its people.

We call on people of goodwill all over the world, including Cubans living abroad, to show their solidarity with the hospitalized children of Cuba. We can’t let sanctions and hatred prevail; we must build bridges of love.”
