The touching footage shows the woman cutting a small blue ribbon at the door before entering the modest structure, visibly overwhelmed with joy and gratitude.

The video, which has gone viral, was shared by a user on TikTok under the handle @phindy575 on 15 June 2025.

In the clip, the woman can be seen being handed over the shack during the ceremony. With a simple pair of scissors and a bright smile, the lady officially inaugurated her new shack, a place she could finally call home. The celebration, though understated, was rich in emotion. As she crossed the threshold, @phindy575 raised her arms in celebration, and her community cheered her on.
