Help Pedro rebuild after Hurricane Agatha
Mount Eden, Auckland
Hi everyone, I'm posting because my friend needs some help.
When I visited Havana Cuba in 2018, I became good friends with a guy called Pedro who stopped me from getting hustled, helped me find the best deals, organised the best times, and helped me get wherever I wanted to go, never once asking for money.
I always made sure I was buying the drinks and the meals though and making sure he was looked after.
He was my minder, my fixer, my teacher, and became my friend talking about anything and everything.
Last week, Hurricane Agatha hit the Caribbean, killing 11 in Mexico and 3 in Cuba.
The storm flooded his place and then demolished it after he had to abandon it to get to safety with my help.
He had to get picked up in a canoe to escape the flooding, then pay extortionate jeep drivers to get to the shelter, and although he is safe from the storm, he is now homeless, with no income, hungry and in need of my help.
I've given what I can, so I'm putting a message out there to anyone who feels inclined to help, to do so, by giving to this Givealittle page.
Pedro Gonzalez was my helper, my fixer, my minder and my friend when I visited Cuba in 2018

Kia ora everyone. Thanks so much for your help in getting Pedro through this difficult time. Although he became sick after the Hurricane due to large bodies of stagnant water nearby, with some extra help thanks to you, we got him some antibiotics and he's recovering well.
When the givealittle money is released, he will begin the process of buying necessities and securing a place to live outside of the shelter.
Thanks all so much for your help!
When he gets the money, Ill ask him to send a video update
