“Many people didn’t even have shoes to wear.”
I am 30 years old, and I have had a very challenging life. I was born in Somalia, but we had to leave when I was a child because my people were fighting each other. I was raised by my dad and my auntie in a refugee camp in Kenya. I lived there for 15 years. Many people didn’t even have shoes to wear. Some mornings, I would wake up and see dead bodies in front of my house. It was as sad time. Now that I’m here, I often pray and say, ‘God bless America and God bless back home.’
