A young Cuban woman living in the United States took to TikTok to share images of a car accident she was involved in, along with a heartfelt reflection inspired by a stranger who stopped to help her after the crash.

“Thank God I’m okay. I wasn’t with my kids in the car, thank God,” she said, clearly shaken by the incident. Shortly after the accident, one of her TikTok followers recognized her and stopped to assist.
“She first asked me if my kids were with me, and when I said no, she told me, ‘This is a life lesson. You’re alive, material things can be replaced. You need a new car, and my husband needs a kidney,’” the young woman recounted.
The video has sparked numerous reactions on social media, with messages of support, solidarity, and reflections on the fragility of life and the true value of material possessions.
The Cuban woman concluded her post by expressing gratitude for being alive and admitting that the accident imparted a significant life lesson that she will never forget.
