The Cuban comedian and philanthropist Limay Blanco once again demonstrated a lesson in humility and commitment to those in need. Amid the blackouts affecting all of Cuba, the comedian decided to fill his own white Audi with firewood to distribute among the elderly he supports through his humanitarian project Cristo cambia vidas.

In a video posted on his Instagram account, Limay explained in his characteristic straightforward and sincere tone:

"To reach this level, you have to be reborn, because no one would do to an Audi, no matter how old it is, what I do to mine. There we are already guaranteeing tomorrow's firewood to feed 100 elderly people, and if the power goes out, the food will still be prepared."

The images show the car fully loaded with logs and pieces of wood, both in the trunk and on the back seats, where he placed a towel to protect the interior.

The goal, he said, is to ensure that the elderly can cook their meals even when there is no electricity or gas, a situation that has become common on the island.

The gesture has generated thousands of reactions on social media, where many highlighted the artist's authenticity and dedication, who has turned his popularity into a constant means of assistance.

While the Cuban regime continues to offer no solutions to the energy and food crisis, supportive Cubans like Limay Blanco take it upon themselves, with their own resources, to alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable.

With his Audi full of firewood, Limay demonstrates that true greatness lies not in what one has, but in what one shares.
