All these challenges, struggles, losses, achievements, and sacrifices were only for the sake of preserving our lives and securing a better future for our three children.

I want to say thank you to the United States and all the Americans who welcomed us with open arms and helped us start our lives from scratch. The beginning! Photo/by Zuhal Barati
