The Cuban influencer Luis Viral Suárez, along with reggaeton artist Dany Ome, the content creators from Locuras de Miguelín, and others, surprised a family in San Pedro, Guantánamo, who had lost their home in a fire, by giving them a new house equipped with appliances and financial support.

The mother, who lives with her four children, spoke through tears about how a fire destroyed their home and all their belongings, in an event that shook the community.

"Well, we had been without water in the neighborhood for several days, so we went to the river to wash and get water. It was around 5 in the afternoon when a girl came running to tell us that the house was on fire... By the time I arrived, the house was ruined and I fainted," the woman recounted about the day of the tragedy.

In a video posted on Instagram, the influencer showcases how the old house looked and the process of handing over the new home. Additionally, the family received 20,000 pesos and appliances to help them start over.

"Mission accomplished thanks to the Cuban family that supported me, to Dany Ome and to Locuras de Miguelín. Thank you for everything that was achieved. My followers can contact me at this number 52842691. God is great, here is my work and everything that was accomplished, amen," expressed Luis Viral Suárez on social media.

The beneficiary deeply appreciated the gesture of solidarity, assuring that now she and her children can "live as deserving individuals" after receiving their new home.

The fire occurred on August 27, when the family was out of the house and lost all their belongings, according to a report from CiberCuba.
