A 501(c)(3) nonprofit
Cubans are dying without basic medicine. You can change that.
Your gift funds one suitcase of life-saving medicine — delivered directly, by hand, to trusted Cuban doctors already caring for their neighbors.

Antibiotic prescriptions per suitcase
The Problem
Basic medicine is impossible to find in Cuba.
Cuban doctors are skilled and committed — but the pharmacy shelves are empty. Families watch treatable illnesses become deadly ones. And most of us feel powerless, thousands of miles away, unsure how to help.
The reality
Antibiotics, inhalers, blood-pressure medication — none of it reliably available.
The feeling
Watching people suffer for what a $10 prescription would fix — and not knowing what to do.
The truth
No one should die from an illness we know how to treat.
Your guide on the ground
We've done this before. We know the way in.
We understand the ache of watching from a distance. That's why Beauti of Hope was built — a small, all-volunteer team with trusted relationships in Cuba, a practicing physician leading medical sourcing, and a legal, proven method for getting medicine into the hands that will use it well.
Physician-led sourcing
Dr. Jon Cumberledge oversees every suitcase, from selection to delivery.
Trusted Cuban partners
Delivered only to doctors we know by name — Dr. Corunno, Roberto Rodriguez, and the Methodist Medical Fellowship.
100% volunteer
From couriers to leadership, no one is paid. Every dollar buys medicine or moves it.
Registered 501(c)(3)
Tax-deductible giving, transparent reporting, and receipts on every gift.
The Plan
Three simple steps between you and a life saved.
We pack a suitcase
Our medical team assembles up to 900 antibiotic prescriptions, inhalers, chronic-illness medication, and cancer treatments — every ounce of allowable weight.
Medicine reaches a family
A volunteer courier hand-carries it to Cuba and delivers it directly to trusted doctors, who dispense it — free — to the people who need it.

With your help
A mother gets the inhaler. A child finishes the antibiotic. A grandfather keeps his blood pressure down.
Doctors we trust do what they've trained to do — and treatable illness stays treatable.
Without it
Preventable suffering keeps compounding — quietly, family by family.
The shelves stay empty. The next flight leaves without a suitcase. And the story doesn't have to end that way.
Latest Trip Update
Last delivery: April 2026. Next trip on the calendar.
Our last 48-hour round-trip delivery was successfully completed April 18–20, 2026. The next trip is planned for May 23–25, 2026. Your gift today puts medicine on the next flight.
