Welcome to episode 17 of The American Dream in The Eyes of Immigrants Podcast, I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz. This episode is very special because this episode is with my husband and his older siblings. They share their memories of living in the Dominican Republic and then moving to the USA. You will listen of their very humble beginnings and they struggle they endured adapting to living in a new country.

One thing I like about having this podcast and sharing these stories is that people can listen and understand that when immigrants come to the US things are not “handled” to them, like some think. Immigrants must work to get basic needs while learning how to navigate a new country and without knowing the language.

I wanted to record this episode with all three of them together because it’s interesting to hear how each of their memories differ even though they came together. Alex was 14, Leiky was 10, and Jonathan (my husband) was 9.
