Cuban content creator Yesi Concepción shared her excitement upon receiving a new shipment of food from a follower, a gesture that, as she confessed, allows her to enjoy products that she cannot purchase on her own in Cuba.
"She is the second time she has sent me food and it makes me happy for a few days," Yesi expressed in a video shared on social media, where she showcased the items received and thanked the woman's generosity.
The Cuban explained that she is facing economic difficulties that prevent her from acquiring certain foods on the island.
"You know that I have needs, that I can't buy things here in Cuba and through her I can get them," he confessed.
The image shared shows several products, including eggs, bread, rice, toilet paper, cold cuts, and other packaged foods.
"I am very grateful to God, to that follower, may God bless her, may He grant her good health, may He bring her prosperity, may He give her even more in abundance," she expressed with emotion.
"I thank you very much for this gift and for making me happy for a few days. I love you, and that's an understatement," she concluded.
"Only we Cubans know what we are going through."
The post generated numerous reactions from followers who celebrated the supportive gesture and sent messages of affection to both Yesi and the person who made the delivery possible.
However, alongside the congratulatory messages, there were also comments reflecting the challenges many Cuban families face in obtaining food.
"Those little things brighten our lives and make it a bit more bearable. Only we Cubans know what we are going through," wrote a user.
Another person commented, "Blessings and be happy, as few have that blessing in this country."
A follower expressed her wish to receive similar aid: "How much I would love a food combo... Congratulations. Greetings from Cuba."
Other messages highlighted the joy of seeing Yesi enjoy the received products.
"I'm glad to see you happy. Enjoy it because you deserve it," noted one internet user, while another thanked the person who made the delivery: "That's great, enjoy this blessing and thanks to the follower for helping you."
This is not the first time that Yesi Concepción has drawn attention on social media for her posts related to the challenges of feeding oneself in Cuba.
At the end of August, the content creator went viral after posting a video in which she claimed she would prepare snails in sauce, after collecting them following the rain.
"This is what I will be eating in Cuba, gentlemen, because there is nothing, there is no meat. Well, there is, but it's very expensive," he asserted.
The recording sparked significant controversy. While some users linked the scene to the country's food crisis, others questioned its authenticity, as the video did not show the woman cooking or consuming the slugs.
