@avose photographed Sara Khatoon, 60, kissing her grandson, Mohammad Rahman, who was born in the United States this summer. The 2 live with Sara’s son, Mohamed Rafiq; his wife, Nur Hasina; and the couple’s 3 other children, Ajida Bibi, Sirajul Haq, Eismat Ara. (Swipe left to see @avose’s portraits of the family members.) Together, they live in a 2-bedroom apartment in a Dallas complex home to other refugees. The family settled in Dallas last year after 8 years of separation. In February 2008, Mohamed — a #Rohingya Muslim, one of the most persecuted ethnic groups in the world — fled #Myanmar, aiming to find work in a neighboring country to support his growing family. But the ferryboat he and nearly 100 other Rohingya men were aboard became a deathtrap. The engine died at sea, and the boat was adrift for 4 weeks. Thirst and hunger set in, killing more than a dozen men. “I am ready to die,” Mohamed recalled thinking. Then the Sri Lankan Navy found the boat drifting in the Bay of Bengal. He stayed in Sri Lanka for 4 years before arriving in Dallas in 2013. His mother, wife and children arrived in Dallas 3 years later. “I feel like I am the luckiest man alive,” Mohamed told @ニューヨーク・タイムズ. “I can build my life in the United States. Here it’s easy. I was dying on the boat. Compared to that here, in America, it’s easy.” | @theirc, one of the 8 organizations supported by the @ニューヨーク・タイムズ Neediest Cases Fund, helped Mohamed reunite with his family.
