Real life stories

My name is S. I was born in Iraq and I grew up there with my family.

I was a journalist and a very good one. My wife and 2 young children we were living happy and healthy. We had a nice house, money and a good social status.

My job as a journalist got in the way. Politicians and military was not happy of my articles I wrote and threaten my life but also the lives of my wife and 2 children. I needed to do something so we left.

Now, in this new country my degree is not valid. I can’t be a journalist here. I struggle to find a job to feed my family. It’s all very new for me and my family.

But we are strong. We have our health and we love each other. With the help of a few locals we are trying to build from zero our lives again.
