The renowned Cuban comedian Limay Blanco had an emotional moment when he presented a new home to a Cuban family, with the primary goal of improving the quality of life for a girl with disabilities.
The handing over of the house took place during the traditional New Year’s Eve dinner, which is part of the philanthropic activities led by Blanco through his charity project "Cristo cambia vidas."
"Here is the formal delivery and the reaction of Emily's family, the house #44 that was handed over at the New Year's dinner for 270 people in need," the comedian wrote on Facebook alongside a video capturing the moment.
At the time of the handover, Blanco was describing and showing the house to the dinner guests. In the clip, one can see a fully equipped home, featuring three bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, a kitchen, a dining area, a garden, and even a garage, with each space set up for comfortable living.
According to the comedian, the house is painted blue because it is the preferred color of the young girl benefiting from it, and it also has the necessary features to facilitate her mobility and comfort.
“To everyone who was involved with these blessings, thank you, thank you very much for helping me help,” Limay wrote, while announcing that the fundraising for house number 45 has already begun.
The family, visibly emotional, expressed their gratitude to Limay and everyone who contributed to making their dream of having a decent home tailored to their daughter's special needs come true.
The gesture has been widely praised on social media, where followers recognize the positive impact of Limay's work in vulnerable communities on the island.
In July 2024, Limay handed over house number 40 to a mother who, along with her three daughters, had been sleeping in the doorway of an empty house in Pinar del Río, highlighting the critical housing situation in certain regions of the country.
With these actions, Limay Blanco reaffirms his commitment to the most vulnerable sectors of Cuba, showing that laughter and solidarity can be powerful tools for transforming lives.
