When you consider the plight of refugees fleeing unimaginable adversity in their homelands, sadly, the stories are all too common. Fleeing suddenly in the dead of night with only what they could carry. Making long treks through dangerous territory, often to an unknown destination. Suffering injury, disease, and deprivation of food and water. Being separated from family, never knowing if they’ll be reunited. And the heartbreaking reality that they will never return to the homeland they once cherished.
All of these—and even worse—are true of Amina; yet her story is unique. Having experienced unfathomable adversity, she is filled with immeasurable joy. Having lost all of her children, she remains a mother to many. Watch her recount, in her own words, her remarkably tragic yet extraordinarily redemptive story.
