The young Cuban mother identified on TikTok as @anita.cubanita64 once again moved her followers by sharing new images of the current state of her recently purchased home in Cuba. In a video lasting over a minute, she shows how she personally undertakes deep cleaning and conditioning tasks before permanently moving into her new home.
“Today was a super important day because we were supposed to finish painting,” she explains in the video. “We started splashing water everywhere... it was a huge mess. I was cleaning with detergent, especially the bathroom, which for me is one of the most important parts of the house.”
Anita thanked those who have supported her throughout the process, through messages, donations, and comments on social media. “It was worth it because I loved the result,” she stated, while also mentioning that she will soon release a video about the moving moment.
The video, published on TikTok just 23 hours ago, has surpassed 20,000 "likes," accumulated hundreds of comments, and has been saved and shared by dozens of users, quickly becoming viral content.
Reactions: support, questions, and excitement
Among the thousands of comments, messages of admiration and encouragement stand out: "What a blessing to have your own home," "You made me cry with emotion," or "People like you make me proud to be Cuban." Many users celebrated that she achieved this milestone without needing to emigrate, amidst the complex conditions that the country is facing.
Others took the opportunity to ask about the legal process of acquiring a home on the island. "Can the government take it away from you?" asked one internet user. Anita replied, "Not at all, you pay, you buy, and it's your property."
There were also those who expressed their surprise at the possibility of purchasing properties in Cuba: “I thought no one could buy a house in Cuba,” commented one user, while another replied, “Yes, you can, it’s just that not everyone has the money.”
The aesthetic appeal and cleanliness of the home also drew praise: “The most beautiful thing about a house is this, the cleanliness,” “That's something Cuban women have, they clean by splashing water everywhere,” wrote a Dominican user.
Furthermore, several followers expressed their willingness to provide financial support to the young woman from abroad: “How can I help you from Argentina?” asked a woman in the comments.
A step-by-step shared process
This new publication adds to a series of previous videos in which Anita has been recounting each stage of the buying, painting, and decorating process of her home. Just two days ago, in an article published by CiberCuba, the young woman revealed that she had rented a house in Matanzas for 10,000 pesos a month for years, and that the purchase of her current home was made possible thanks to her constant work on social media and the support of her community of followers.
“Today I can officially say that I have my little house,” she expressed then. “I know it’s not much, but for me it represents the sacrifice of a lot of time, and the future of my baby.”
The influencer has used her platform not only to share her story but also to highlight the daily struggles on the island, such as blackouts, issues with food refrigeration, and the high cost of internet service. At the same time, she has promoted charitable initiatives, such as delivering a refrigerator to two needy elderly women through the Haciendo Sueños project.
With each new video, Anita continues to build a digital community that supports her in her personal achievements and finds in her content a genuine window into the daily lives of many Cuban mothers.
