A Cuban woman made a heartwarming and altruistic gesture by offering refuge to a fellow compatriot, who, after spending five days living on the streets, sought help through social media.
The influencer Dairon Cano, who has been supporting the young man since learning about his situation, shared this act of solidarity among Cubans on TikTok, highlighting that he now has a place to stay.
"She told me, 'Dairon, bring him here, I offer my little house,'" commented the tiktoker, who has always emphasized having a network of supportive followers willing to help those he presents as cases of need.
The woman expressed that the young man's situation of sleeping on the streets deeply moved her, as she understands what it's like to go through hardships: "We are Cubans, and we have to help each other."
"Today for you, tomorrow for me, that's how it is," the Cuban woman said. "In Cuba, we share poverty; if we have a lot or a little here, we can also share it."
Cano assured the young man that after getting him off the streets, he would now focus on helping him find a job.
The tiktoker emphasized that helping others should be a fundamental reason for any influencer: "Help, support, unite your people."
"Tomorrow he could be a millionaire, and you fall (pointing to the woman), and he will remember that you opened the doors of your home," Cano reiterated.
Last Saturday, the influencer shared a video on TikTok, which prompted others who learned about the young Cuban's situation of sleeping on the streets of Miami to come forward and offer assistance.
"These are the beautiful things about social media," Cano emphasized.
Recently, the influencer helped a 20-year-old Cuban who had just arrived in the U.S. and found himself on the streets in Tampa after the person hosting him threw him out.
"Young Cuban is thrown out on the street and has only been in the USA for a month. Let's help him, please!" Cano wrote alongside a video showing him giving the young man food to take to the house where he is temporarily staying and a hundred dollars.
