There simply is no better way to help those most impacted by the Hurricane."

“I am grateful and honored to be a part of an incredible community of California Cubans who are coming forward with a generous spirit to help the people in our homeland of Cuba at a time of their greatest need,” stated Georgianna Junco-Kelman, attorney and creator of the CaliCubans For Cuba Hurricane Relief fundraiser.
