Brindar & Translation help

Question

What does "brindar" mean, and how can it be used?

Can someone just translate this entire sentence for me?

"Como tantos otros cubanos exiliados, necesito la seguridad y el apoyo indespensables que sólo esa continudad con el pasado, sólo esa congruencia interior puede brindarle al ser humano."

I know everything up until "brindarle al ser humano" but it would still be helpful to get the entire thing translated in context. Thanks so much in advance!

Like so many other exiled Cubans, I need the security and indispensable support that only this continuity with the past and this inner consistency can provide for a human being.
