What a family in Cuba sends to their daughter in the United States

In the package, there were several bottles of rum, medicines, H. Upmann cigars, tobacco, religious pulses, and even herbs for a cleansing.


A Cuban woman who arrived in the United States last March shared with her followers on Facebook the moment she opens a package sent to her by her family from Cuba.

The common thing is that those who emigrate are the ones who send things to their relatives on the Island, but in this case, it was the other way around.

Mabele Amelia Padilla Martínez commented that her family in Cuba has needs, but above all, they have priorities, and "when priorities are present and there are people who care about you, they will keep you in mind."

The young woman opened the package, which contained a bottle of Havana Club rum, one of La Guantanamera, and another of Chanceler whiskey.

"Knowing that this is purchased with the sacrifice and effort of the people who could have spent this little bit of money on food and the ten thousand needs that we all know exist in Cuba, they decide to take a part of their money to buy us this gift; it is too exciting," he stated.

The shipment also included medications such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and those for blood pressure. As he explained, in the United States it is very difficult to find medicines: "Everything is by prescription; for those without health insurance, it's super complicated."

The lucky recipient also received H. Upmann cigars, tobacco, photos from her 15th birthday, work tools for her stepfather, who is a craftsman, as well as religious bracelets and even cascarilla for a cleansing.

In early April, Mabele Amelia shared the moment when she and her husband got their first car, less than a month after arriving in the United States.

In June, he/she starred in a supportive and emotional gesture by handing out bread to people on the street.

According to what she said, a wrong order of bread arrived at her workplace. The load was going to be thrown away despite being in good condition, so the Cuban decided to keep it to give away on the street.

"They are not expired, they are fresh. I am going to keep some packages for myself and my mom, and we will give the rest to people who need it," he commented.

"As a Cuban, I couldn't allow these fresh loaves to end up in the trash. God willing, I can do the same one day but in my Cuba. The feeling of sharing is unique," she assured.
