Couple Selling Mangoes in Miami Seeks Community Support

A Cuban couple in Miami has touched the hearts of many by selling mangoes right from their home’s front porch. Their story gained attention after Cuban influencer Dairon Cano shared a video urging the community to support them. The footage, filmed from the sidewalk where they sell their fruit, captures the daily grind of this family striving to make a living.

"This couple, right here, dedicates themselves to selling these delicious mangoes outside their home. If you love mangoes, come visit them," Cano (@dairon_cano_aguila) encourages in the video, showing off two bags of fruit he purchased.

The influencer highlighted the couple's hard work and determination to earn a living in the United States. "They're out here, working hard. Let's support this family fighting to make it in this country," he emphasized.

The social media response was overwhelmingly positive. In just two days, the video garnered numerous messages of support, purchase requests, and admiration for their efforts. “If I were nearby, I’d buy them all,” one user commented. “Wish they were in Tampa,” another said. “Send me a box to Naples, I’ll buy 50!” added a follower.

Many viewers were intrigued by the couple’s story shared in the video. Despite Cano's call for direct support, some complained that the information was provided too quickly. "Put the address on the screen; she said it too fast to understand," some suggested.

Others inquired about shipping beyond the state. Comments like “Do they ship to Jacksonville?” and “If they ship, I’ll buy; I live in Odessa, Texas," reflect the desire to support even from afar. “I’ll cover shipping to Houston; send me some green ones,” echoed another.

Cano praised them as an example of resilience: "This is the way, folks. They’re not sitting idly; they’re fighting. Please visit and support them. They’re doing what they can, and doing it well."

Amidst the flood of supportive messages, many users identified the couple as natives of Sagua la Grande, Villa Clara. “They’re from my town,” a user pointed out. Others recalled knowing them from Cuba, with some even claiming to have been neighbors. “They’re good people; they deserve all the support in the world,” wrote a woman familiar with them from her neighborhood.

This video is part of a series where Dairon Cano showcases the realities faced by Cubans in the U.S. Recently, he highlighted stories like that of a mother in Tampa seeking help while her husband awaits heart surgery, or an Uber and Lyft driver struggling to find steady work.

He has also shared stories of Cuban entrepreneurs with I-220A permits who have started small businesses despite challenges, such as a barber in Houston or a young woman rebuilding her beauty salon in Miami after a robbery.

"This isn’t about politics; it’s about need. Let’s help each other as Cubans, as a community," Cano urged. The online comments seem to agree: “This is what we need to do: support each other,” “God bless them,” “May they never run out of mangoes or hope.”
