She said they could not use Uber or any other ride-hailing service because they did not have an American debit card, and it took them three weeks to get their first salary.
She recalled the day her husband trekked with her to work because the cold was too much for them to bear.
They had to find a way to get a car as soon as possible, because they could not continue wasting their money on transportation.
They were able to get a car on their sixth week of arrival, thanks to the help of some friends who sent them some Uber gift cards.
She said she was proud of herself and her husband for overcoming the challenges they faced, and for adapting to their new life in America.
