After almost four years without visiting Cuba, Nelita (@nelita.tiki on TikTok) returned with a purpose: to enjoy time with her loved ones and support her family. It was a long-awaited visit for her, during which she surprised her cousin with a gift that may seem simple to many, but meant the world to her: a washing machine.
The moment she handed over the washing machine was recorded on video and shared on TikTok, where both cousins appear excited and embracing each other. In the description of the video, which has gone viral, the Cuban explained: "This was the reason for my trip to Cuba (to help my family). It's amazing how something so simple for us means everything to them."
The emotional reaction of the cousin, who cannot hold back her tears, reveals the great need that many Cuban families still face in accessing basic necessities.
"There are no words to describe what you are. I am writing this with tears in my eyes because that's just who I am. My whole family is proud, regardless of who criticizes us. You are an excellent person." "I cried so much seeing this beautiful gesture. We still complain, while these little ones are moved by something so normal and simple. May God bless them." "What a great satisfaction it is to help those in need who truly appreciate it, even more than we do. Sometimes we are dissatisfied with what we have. Congratulations!" or "This is the only satisfaction we have in this distance between families: being able to contribute a little and help them." These are some of the comments left for the Cuban along with her video.
