“...My husband... next month he has to undergo heart surgery,” a Cuban woman in Tampa, Florida, says with a broken voice while sharing her testimony in a video posted by the influencer Dairon Cano, who has asked the community for support to help her.
In the recording, Cano points to the woman's three children, who are beside her: "She has this baby that is here, this girl that is here, and this little one that is here."
The woman explained that two years ago her husband fell ill, and since then they have had to face many difficulties. “Two years ago... my husband got sick and we really lost everything... now we are trying to fight in order to move forward,” she recounted.
The family, which previously lived in Cape Coral, is now in Tampa. The man is unemployed, and she is trying to get by while taking care of their children. “Can you imagine, him without a job, with three kids... it's difficult,” she said, visibly emotional.
The case has sparked a wave of reactions on social media, where many people have offered financial assistance, words of encouragement, or have shared the video to amplify the message.
Some users requested that their situation be respected and that they not be judged. Others suggested following her on TikTok to help her generate income. Several offered to make contributions via Zelle, and many left messages like "stay strong," "everything will be alright," or "God bless you."
One of the recurring concerns in the comments was the well-being of the three small children featured in the video. “I will be eternally grateful to you,” said Cano, reiterating the call to help, even with small contributions.
This is one of several cases that Dairon Cano has shared. Recently, he highlighted the story of a Cuban in Tampa who is looking for a job because, as he said, he cannot support himself working with Uber and Lyft.
In June, she shared the testimony of a young Cuban who was the victim of a robbery on the very day she opened her beauty salon in Miami.
In May, it showcased the plight of a family who lost their home in a fire in Tampa.
In all cases, the goal has been the same: to mobilize the community to provide support to those who need it most. "We are here to help each other", said Cano, convinced that unity can make a difference in difficult times.
