Influencer shares tips for Cubans who have just arrived in the U.S.: "You have to help"

The influencer Yolanda Capote Uz, known on social media for her profile Analogías de Lola (@analogias_de_lola), shared some tips with her followers for Cubans newly arrived in the United States who need to strengthen their economic, emotional, and enjoyment connections.

"These tips about relationships can be applied to any area of your lives," explained the influencer and detailed that those who do not learn these lessons in the United States are doomed to failure.

"In the case of newcomers, the connection with those who welcome them often breaks due to monetary issues," said Lola and commented that to avoid this, clear communication is important.

"It is advisable that if you cannot contribute money to the house that welcomes you, at least you wash, wash the dishes, cook, and look for a job while your paperwork is being processed, so that those who are providing you with water, food, and shelter feel compensated for the effort they make for you, in a country where everything has a cost."

The influencer acknowledged that when a Cuban arrives in the United States, they need an adjustment period, a time to focus and assimilate everything new in their lives.

However, he asked those who are in that stage to be mature and realistic, because the person who welcomed them into their home is sacrificing time, money, and the most valuable thing of all, their privacy.

House rules in a home that isn't yours in the U.S.

Yolanda invited families that host newly arrived Cubans in the United States to sit down from the very beginning to have conversations and set boundaries, clear timelines for the duration of stay, and goals to achieve within a certain timeframe, to help them eventually become independent.

"Saying things like 'you must be properly dressed in my house' is not something for anyone to get sensitive about. It's important to speak clearly and directly. Never assume that the other person understands or knows what is logical, because they won't," he said.

In the opinion of this Cuban, a basic aspect of coexistence is to set limits, in every possible sense and in all necessary aspects.

He reminded those going through this that: "The cost of living in Miami has gone up a lot. It's important for you to buy a car and gain your independence as soon as possible. It's not that the person hosting you is bad. It's just that privacy cannot be bought with anything."
