Carmen’s Story

My story began in Nicaragua…

I arrived in the United States as a refugee in January of 2023. I was completely alone. 

Because I disagreed with the corrupt government in my country, I was persecuted by those in political power. They pursued me with force and violence, causing me to lose all I had worked my whole life to achieve and compelled me to flee for safety in nearby Costa Rica. 

But they didn’t let me go so easily.

Josephine's Story

I was born in Congo, Africa. I am 58 years old. I have five boys and four girls. My husband died in Congo.

I speak Kinyarwanda, Swahili, and a little French.

I sold yogurt and butter in Congo for work. I also farmed beans, potatoes, and other vegetables.

We left Congo because of war. We went to camp in Rwanda in 2005 and stayed there for 17 years.

Louisa’s Story

I was born in Congo, Africa, and am 35 years old. I worked as a teacher before war came and we had to leave. We lived in a refugee camp for 10 years. We all lived in one tent, my husband and seven children and me.

We came to Las Vegas in October 2022.

I like that we have a nice place to live, food, and schools for children in America.

My dream is to become a citizen of the United States.
