A Cuban who was living on the streets of Miami found a job in construction thanks to the selfless help of a fellow countryman who contacted him online.
The young man, named Yasser, began working on a construction site on Monday after the good Samaritan picked him up and took him to the location.
"I told you that I was going to share every second of my life with you. Wish me a happy work day," he asked in a video on his TikTok account.
In another video, Yasser wanted to show his gratitude to the Cuban community in exile by singing a fragment of the song Solo déjate amar by the Mexican singer Kalimba.
"This song is dedicated to all of you with much love for all the support you have given me in these very difficult days. May God bless you, you are my family," he said emocionally.
The story of Yasser was revealed by the actor Alexis Valdés, after he approached him on the street and asked him to record a video directed to the TikToker Dairon Cano, who has become popular for helping compatriots going through difficult situations in Miami.
Dairon went to see the boy, who explained that he arrived in the United States just a year ago through family reunification and had been on the street for five days after ending his relationship with his girlfriend.
"I have my police record clean and everything, I can show it. I have no criminal record in this country, I got [the record] for my residency. I'm simply going through a tough time, perhaps due to bad decisions," he said.
"I don't have a job, I don't have anywhere to stay. I have my papers in order and I only ask the Cuban community and all its supporters to help me find a job. I have a license, I have everything," he specified.
A few hours later, a Cuban from Hialeah offered him a place to stay, an altruistic and supportive gesture that the influencer shared on TikTok.
"He told me, 'Dairon, bring him over here so I can offer him my little house,'" he said.
The woman recounted that the situation of the young man sleeping on the street deeply moved her, as she knows what it's like to go through hardships: "We are Cubans and we have to help each other."
"Today for you, tomorrow for me, that's how it is," he commented. "In Cuba, we share poverty; if we have a lot or a little here, we can also share it."
