A Cuban identified on TikTok as @diannelislachicott has touched the hearts of hundreds of users by showcasing in a video the result of years of hard work outside the island: a fully furnished and decorated home in Cuba.
"When you arrive in Cuba and see this, you realize that all your effort has been worth it," reads the text over images showing a spacious room with white furniture, golden cushions, and a modern flat-screen television.
In another part of the video, the creator shows a room with a double bed, pink curtains, and blue LED lights, a style that is very popular among Cubans living abroad who send resources to improve the homes of their family members.
The young woman accompanied the post with a heartfelt message: “Every hour of work is owed to this result; thank you, God, for giving me the strength for my mother and daughter to be here.”
The video has received dozens of supportive comments from other Cuban emigrants, many of whom relate to his story and the sacrifice of working far from family to help their loved ones on the island.
In recent years, social media has been filled with similar posts, where Cubans residing in the United States, Spain, or Mexico showcase the houses they have managed to build or remodel
