Helping Cuban People!!!!!!


As a Cuban I feel the desperation of thousands of people who have lost their homes through the 3 hurricanes, Fay, Gustav and Ike, that have so far beaten to Cuba. The images are devastating, not much need to see how the Cuban people that suffer because of this.


The UN estimates the cost of the damage at between $3bn-$4bn.


That's why during the month of September to 50% of all sales of my stores in Etsy will be donated to Cubans who have been affected by the strong impact of nature.

Como una cubana que soy siento la desesperacion de miles de personas que han perdido sus casas a traves de los 3 huracanes, Fay, Gustav e Ike que hasta ahora han golpeado a Cuba. Las imagenes son desoladoras, no necesitan de mucho para ver como el pueblo cubano esta sufriendo por este motivo. Es por eso que durante el mes de septiembre el 50% de todas las ventas de mis tiendas en Etsy sera donado para los cubanos que han sido afectados por el fuerte impacto de la naturaleza.
