Cuban reggaeton artist Oniel Bebeshito has joined the effort to raise funds for Evelyn, a preschool teacher from Ciego de Ávila in desperate need of a new home to care for her bedridden mother. Freelance journalist Guillermo Rodríguez Sánchez brought attention to Evelyn's plight on Facebook, detailing the dire conditions she and her 88-year-old mother endure, living in a collapsing house without essential amenities like a bathroom, water, or kitchen appliances.
Upon seeing the post, Bebeshito was moved to contribute generously. "I just got off the phone with one of his representatives, and moments later, I received a $200 transfer from him and his team," Rodríguez shared in a heartfelt Facebook post, expressing gratitude for the musician's kindness.
"Thank you, young man. This adds to the many small contributions from others, showing that what truly matters is the heart and selfless affection behind the gesture. May your concerts be sold out," Rodríguez's post continued, sparking a flood of comments praising Bebeshito's altruism.
Comments poured in, applauding Bebeshito: "Wow! Kudos to Bebeshito; may he be blessed with health and success in his music career."; "An artist's humanity reflects in their music, proving that to be a great musician, one must first be a good person."; "That's how it is... Sometimes we judge, thinking they can only sing 'La batidora' or 'El Punto,' but they're humble and always willing to help."; "Blessings for his good deed. It's good to be this way, remembering that one day we are up, and the next, we are down."; "He promised his mother he would become great, and with this gesture, he's reaching the top. Blessings, Bebeshito."; "I don't know Bebeshito and might have hummed one of his songs unknowingly, but with this action, he won me over for life. Blessings to him."
Thanks to the collective efforts, over a million pesos have been raised to secure a new home for Evelyn, who is overwhelmed with gratitude and has shed countless tears of thanks to everyone contributing to this cause.
