MIAMI, Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- This week, the
Heal the Earth Foundation continues to progress with its "Rx for
Cuba" tour. Thanks to the capital
raised at the first two shows, the foundation was able to purchase
Ibuprofen in bulk to send to Cuba.
While packing the bags with the Ibuprofen, Dr. Farshchian said,
"It's unfortunate that we physically have to bring this medicine by
hand to Cuba because of the lack
of shipping services into the country and the concern that the
Cuban government will take the luggage away if we check in the bag.
So we fly to Cuba with the
medicine as a carry-on." These bags are being flown into
Cuba by a Heal the Earth
representative. They are hand-delivered to ensure they are given to
the right people. The products, in this case Ibuprofen, will
be given directly to the people in need. Kristen Carranza, the
Associate Director of Heal the Earth, said, "Having these bags
packed with medicine so quickly after our first couple of shows
makes me optimistic for the future fundraising we have planned. We
are making a huge effort to help people in need, and I'm so glad to
see the progress we've been making thus far."
There are four more fundraising events this month presented by
Heal the Earth. August 5 at Bay 13 Brewery in Coral Gables, August 6 at Shipwreckers
Bar in Fort Lauderdale, August
20 at Kelly Brothers Irish Pub in Fort Lauderdale, and August 27 at
Selina Gold Dust in Miami. All shows begin at 8:00 p.m. For
