A quick glimpse of one life

 (shared by a friend at the dinner table)

Recently I met this Uber driver from Pakistan.
He was in Dubai for 2 years driving a cab.
Then in Jeddah for 14 years.
His Kafeel was charging him 300 Riyals a month.
Then 1300 a month.
He charged him when he went home for vacation.
He went to Azerbaijan for two years.
Went to Brazil and walked for six months to Mexico, beaten, robbed, and starved.
It took him
8 years to get a green card.
And he was grateful.
He was crying, and all I could do was hug him.
