A tragedy turned into a hopeful new beginning for a family in San Pedro, Guantánamo, thanks to the efforts of Cuban influencer Luis Viral Suárez and reggaeton artist Dany Ome, alongside content creators from Locuras de Miguelín and others. They provided the family, who lost everything in a fire, with a newly furnished home complete with appliances and financial help.
The mother of the family, who has four children, emotionally recounted the day their home was destroyed, leaving them with nothing. "We had been without water in the neighborhood for days, so we went to the river to wash and fetch water. It was around 5 PM when a young girl came running to tell us the house was ablaze... By the time I got back, everything was gone, and I fainted," she recalled of the tragic event that shook the community.
In a video shared on Instagram, the influencer documented the condition of the old home and the handover of the new one. The family was also gifted 20,000 pesos and essential appliances to help them start anew. "Mission accomplished thanks to the Cuban family who supported me, to Dany Ome, and to Locuras de Miguelín. Thank you for everything achieved. My followers can reach me at this number 52842691. God is great, here is my work and what was accomplished, amen," said Luis Viral Suárez on social media.
The recipient expressed her deep gratitude for the generous act, stating that she and her children can now "live with dignity" in their new home. The fire occurred on August 27, when the family was away, resulting in the loss of all their belongings, as reported by CiberCuba.
