A lady deported from the United States after spending 42 years there has sparked outrage on social media by explaining how her life has altered since returning to Haiti.

The woman, Juan, posted videos online depicting her present living situation and appealed for help as she attempts to restore her life.

Juan revealed that she left Haiti as a youngster and had spent her entire life in the United States before being deported.

According to her, she last resided in Haiti when she was quite little.

Read what she said below: 

“Good morning, my name is Juan, I’m 47 years old. At 5 years old was the last time I was in Haiti. I’ve lived in the US all my life. I was forced to live back in Haiti due to deportation. My life here is unstable, it’s uncivilized.”

Juan showed fans a tour of her current home in one of the videos she posted on her TikTok profile.

She showed the kitchen, bathroom, and the area people use to relieve themselves. She also revealed that she is temporarily staying with a woman who offered her shelter.

Towards the end of the clip, she explained her sleeping arrangement, saying: “We all sleep on one bed.”

Juan also included a written note with her video, outlining the mental and physical struggles she has endured since her deportation.

Read her words below: 

“I was living in the U.S. for 42 years. I left Haiti at 5 years old. I was recently deported. I lost everything. I am so grateful for being alive. I have experienced some horrific, life-changing difficulties since being in Haiti. There is no rest. No security. No jobs, especially for a deported person who is foreign to the culture and traditions. It would mean so much to me if I could get the community’s help and support to relocate so that I may find work and eventually return to support my country, Haiti’s economy.”

Juan noted that adjusting to life in Haiti has been exceedingly tough, especially since he is unfamiliar with the culture and traditions after spending decades abroad.

She stated that finding job has been nearly impossible, exacerbating her dissatisfaction and concern about the future.
