“Life in Afghanistan is very hard. Every morning when you go to work you are not sure if you’re going to be back home safe. I lost my dad [at] 3 years old. My home was bombed two times. Life was very challenging. That’s why I started working when I [was] eight years old. But when I was working even as a child I had a book in my knees to read and a dream in my mind to follow. I’m very happy that I’m here right now especially so my kids don’t have the same experience—they [have] a bright future.

.

I moved here four years ago with my wife and two kids. I have a Special Immigrant Visa from Afghanistan. My hope is for the people to help as much as they can. Becoming a refugee is not always a first choice. They have to start from the beginning. They need community support.”
