A Cuban family in the United States showcased on social media how to earn some extra money besides their salary.
Mabele Amelia Padilla Martínez goes with her husband, when he finishes work, and with their child to deliver food at home. For this, they have the license, their car, and they have downloaded the DoorDash app, which delivers food in Miami.
"Right now they are paying 2.50 for each order, plus one dollar, that would be 3.50; apart from the value of the order," the husband detailed.
The couple went to a restaurant, picked up the order, and delivered it to the customer. When leaving it at the front door of the house, he took a photo to confirm it had been delivered. With that order, they earned $10.50.
The next order was more profitable for them because the destination was closer and they spent less fuel.
"This is how it is, like the messengers of all time, pick up here and drop off there, what they pay you for orders. You make a little extra money, obviously you have to pay for gas, and at the end of the year you have to pay taxes, but to make a little extra money it seems super good to me," he emphasized.
At the end of the afternoon, in an hour and a half they completed six orders and earned $52.50.
At the beginning of the month, Mabele Amelia shared with her followers on Facebook the moment she opened a package that her family sent her from Cuba.
It is common for those who emigrate to send things to their relatives on the Island, but in this case, it was the other way around.
The young woman received bottles of drinks, H. Upmann cigars, tobacco, medications, and work tools for her stepfather, who is a craftsman, among other things.
"Knowing that this is purchased with the sacrifice and effort of people, who perhaps could have spent this little money on food and the ten thousand needs we all know exist in Cuba; they decide to take a part of their money to buy us this gift, it's just too moving," she then stated.
Mabele Amelia arrived in the United States last March. At the beginning of April, she announced that she and her husband managed to get their first car, less than a month after arriving in the country.
In June, he/she starred in a supportive and emotional gesture by distributing bread to people on the street.
According to what they said then, an incorrect order of breads that were going to be thrown away despite being in good condition arrived at their workplace, so they decided to keep them to give them away on the street.
"I'm going to keep some packages for myself and for my mom, and the rest we are going to give to people who need it," she said.
"As a Cuban, I couldn't allow these fresh breads to end up in the trash. God allow me to do the same one day but in my Cuba. The feeling of sharing is unique," she assured.
