A Cuban in Mexico has shared through a TikTok video his reality while waiting for his appointment to cross the border into the United States.

In the video posted by the user @danielnaranjoroja, the man shows the conditions of his modest home, as well as the efforts he makes to support himself while waiting for the long-awaited moment to continue his journey to U.S. soil.

In the short clip, the humble environment in which he lives can be seen, with few comforts and clothes hanging outside that he has had to wash himself.

Despite the difficulties, Cubans seem to cling to the hope of finding new opportunities in the United States.

Like many migrants in similar situations, this man has had to confront loneliness and limited resources amidst an uncertain migration process.

His video has touched thousands of users on social media, who have expressed messages of support and solidarity towards him.

"Stay strong, and I hope the long-awaited moment arrives for you soon," "Many of us feel the same way, so don’t feel alone," and "Don’t worry, I'm alone with my 9-year-old and doing my best," can be read in the comments.

The story of this Cuban in Mexico reflects the reality faced by hundreds of migrants who, in search of a better future, endure difficult living conditions and long waiting periods, filled with challenges but also with hope.
