The Cuban Lisette Rodríguez, 36 years old and originally from Cienfuegos, is facing one of the most challenging situations of her life after being evicted in Miami, despite having two young children.
Lisette is the mother of a five-month-old baby and a five-year-old boy diagnosed with autism. This woman has been left completely alone and helpless in Miami.
She lost her job and was unable to pay the rent, which led to her eviction. She ended up on the streets with her two young children, facing an indescribable desperation.
She is temporarily staying in a shelter for homeless families in Miami, as she struggles to find a way out of this crisis. Her heartbreaking situation reflects the challenges many immigrants face in the United States.
Her husband is currently in an "Immigration Hold," which prevents his immediate release and places him in the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This has left Lisette as the sole caretaker of their children in a country where she has no family support.
Lisette is urgently searching for a job that will allow her to support her family and provide them with a safe home. Finding a position is challenging for her because she needs a work schedule from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. that aligns with her responsibilities of caring for her children.
Their story was shared on TikTok by the profile Conducta (@conductadade) and has begun to mobilize the Miami community.
This Cuban mother is a strong, responsible woman determined to build a future in the United States for her family. That’s why many Cubans on social media are urgently calling for solidarity with her situation.
If you have information about job opportunities, resources, or any type of assistance that could benefit Lisette and her children, you can reach out to the TikTok profile Conducta that shared her story or to local organizations that support families in similar situations.
