“Welcome to your new home. You’re part of what makes America great,”
US president Barack Obama left a touching comment on a recent photograph posted on the Humans of New York (HONY) Facebook page.
A series of seven images posted by HONY tells the story of a Syrian scientist who lost his wife and child when a missile tore through his home.
The images are part of a running series by HONY on Syrian families who have been cleared for resettlement in the US.
The PhD educated scientist, who remains unnamed, will be settling in Michigan soon with his surviving children.
His tragic story gained the attention of President Obama who left this touching comment:
“As a husband and a father, I cannot even begin to imagine the loss you’ve endured. You and your family are an inspiration. I know that the great people of Michigan will embrace you with the compassion and support you deserve. Yes, you can still make a difference in the world, and we’re proud that you’ll pursue your dreams here. Welcome to your new home. You’re part of what makes America great.”
