A young Cuban has gone viral on TikTok after sharing a video of himself handing out money to several children playing in a street in a neighborhood on the island.
In the images recorded from inside a car, a young man is seen counting several bills before capturing the attention of the nearby children. Shortly after, the kids approach the vehicle and receive the money with evident joy.
"If you have the chance to help, do it," wrote the young man in the video description posted on his TikTok account. The brief message accompanied scenes of him reaching out through the car window to hand over the bills.
In another part of the audiovisual material, we see more children approaching the vehicle after noticing what was happening. The youngsters, smiling, take the bills and return enthusiastically to the sidewalk.
The gesture has generated various reactions on social media. While some users applaud the initiative and emphasize the importance of solidarity, others spark a debate about the economic reality faced by many Cuban families and the situation of children in vulnerable neighborhoods across the country.
In a context marked by scarcity and the economic difficulties faced by the population in Cuba, such scenes often evoke both expressions of support and reflections on the depth of the crisis affecting thousands of households.
