Cuban in the USA explodes on TikTok: "I don't care where the money ends up because I send it to my family."

The Cuban content creator on TikTok, Nathyy Zaldivar Toro (@nathyy.zaldivar.t), reaffirmed her stance on sending remittances to her family in Cuba after receiving several comments on her previous videos.

In a new post, Nathyy responded to a user who claimed that Cubans will be "like this for 100 more years" because they are allowed to leave the country to send money. Making it clear that for her, the priority is that her family does not go hungry, she energetically replied, arguing that the decision to send remittances should not be seen as indirect support for the dictatorship, as some repeat, but rather as a responsibility toward their loved ones.

"My family is going to live well until they can be here with me," said this young woman, for whom her true concern is to ensure the well-being of her relatives on the island, regardless of political debates.

This exchange comes after a previous video where he defended his decision to send money, despite those who believe that this contributes to sustaining the Cuban regime. On that occasion, he also made it clear that his focus is to help his loved ones as long as they continue living in Cuba.

User reactions quickly emerged, generating a mix of opinions in the comments. Some supported her stance: "That's right, you are great"; “God protects you always, you are very special and very sincere”; "I agree with you, I send money to my family, and let them keep talking"; "Our family is not to blame for politics"; “I also send my family whatever I want. You are very right, that topic is not up for discussion. My children and parents shouldn't suffer or go hungry in Cuba.”

However, there were also criticisms directed at both her and her position.

The debate over sending remittances to Cuba has generated much controversy among Cubans inside and outside the island, with opposing viewpoints between those who believe it helps sustain the regime and others, like Nathyy, who prioritize the welfare of their families and support amid a prolonged situation of shortages, precarity, and crisis.
