Cuban actress Laura Treto, who lives in Miami, has wanted to show her support for all the Cuban mothers on the island suffering from blackouts. The young woman, who has been living in the United States for years, referred to a personal experience she had two years ago when she last visited Cuba and had to face a blackout in a new situation for her as a mother to her daughter Havana.

In her post, the actress expressed how difficult it was to deal with the power outage while taking care of her daughter Havana, a task she described as "doubly stressful." "Although it wasn't my first blackout, it was the first one as a mom, and even though it was for a very short time, the despair of having to take care of someone smaller... it's hard and doubly stressful," the young woman remarked.

Her testimony reflects the impact that this situation has on Cuban families, especially for those who must ensure the well-being of the youngest in conditions of precarity.

In addition, the actress expressed her support and solidarity with Cuban mothers who face power outages every day, highlighting the challenge of keeping their children comfortable and safe amid a lack of resources. "My heart is with the people of Cuba and especially with those mothers who have to figure things out very hard," she stated.

Laura Treto's post has generated a wave of empathy and support among her followers, who recognize the bravery of Cuban families in coping with this situation. Among some comments, we find messages from Cuban mothers talking about their struggles after several days without electricity.

"It is very sad, the truth is I have a 10-month-old baby, and the meats I had for him spoiled because there has been no electricity anywhere in the town where I live to take them elsewhere to store them. The puree he eats, I am blending thanks to some neighbors who connect the blender for me on the second floor and cooking the puree for the day," replied a Cuban mother to Laura Treto's words.

"That's how it happened to me when I went with my one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, and it was quite hard. The truth is that for mothers in Cuba, it's twice as tough," said another Instagram user.
