We are Arianna and Yuri, a Cuban couple united by love, perseverance, and the dream of building a better life together. We met in 2015, and throughout our 11 years of marriage, we have learned that every challenge becomes easier when we face it side by side. In 2019, we came to the United States, leaving behind our homeland, our roots, and the closeness of our families to begin a new chapter filled with hope and determination.

Starting over in a new country meant adapting, making sacrifices, and working tirelessly to create opportunities for our future. Then, in 2020, during the uncertainty of the pandemic, our son Zaid was born. Becoming parents far from our loved ones and without a close support network was one of our greatest challenges. There were difficult days and moments of doubt, but we continued supporting each other. Zaid became our greatest inspiration and gave every sacrifice an even deeper purpose.
