If you're a US American, you can help Cubans by donating to the Hatuey Project and get needed medical supplies to the people

https://www.hatueyproject.org/

The compassionate, humanitarian, and international law-respecting US government makes it incredibly difficult to get money to Cuba legally. There is one charity I am aware of - the Hatuey Project - that is legally able to use donations and get medical supplies to the island. If you’re a US American, this is a legal way to help the Cuban people in what is a time of US-induced crisis. Please consider donating if you can.

How are they legally able?

The Hatuey Project is a project of The People’s Forum, a non-profit public charity exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code; as such, all donations are tax-deductible. All proceeds go to providing material aid. The Hatuey Project delivers the medicines through export licenses granted by the U.S. Commerce Department.

I think because, as cruel as the blockade is, legally there are exceptions allowed for food and medicine. For now at least.

Oh yeah, sorry and thanks. I forgot about that. My head was elsewhere.
