Give a little to Carlos and gain insight to pain control.

Hi, my name is Michelle, I'm a Physiotherapist and an Acupuncturist working in Redcliffs, Christchurch.

Some years ago I went to Cuba and met Carlos and his family. Carlos, like so many Cubans, has fallen on hard times. He is struggling to afford or find enough food for his family of three children and two elderly parents.

Things have got even worse for them since Hurricane Ian hit their country on the 27th of September. As I am writing this they have been without electricity for 5 days, have no clean water, and their home has been badly damaged.

If you were in Christchurch during the Earthquakes, then I am sure that you will recall how you felt. It was a desperate time for many of us. This Hurricane hit the Cuban people when Cuba was already struggling, and it hit the whole country. I had been planning this fundraiser before the Hurricane hit.

All proceeds from this talk will go directly to Carlos and his family. Due to ongoing US embargos and a lack of trust in the Cuban Communist-style Government, it is hard to get aid to the Cuban people. The easiest way to help is to send money directly which is why I have set up this Give-a-Little page.
