Nour shares the story of her family everything behind to pursue their collective and individual dreams of coming to America. The hardest thing was leaving behind part of their family, Tuti, their 2 year old dog. Nour got Tuti after being bedridden for two months due a serious bout with Covid and struggling with depression missing her senior year. Doctors tried to push anti-depressants, but she always knew she felt better around dogs. When she was gifted Tuti, her life changed. They were inseparable until she was forced to leave him behind which broke her heart. We can get Tuti here, we just need your help. Consider donating here, $5, $20, whatever you can. It all adds up. With so many stories we hear that we can't do anything about or change, it's so nice to learn of one where we can! Here, we can! https://www.gofundme.com/f/reunite-nour-syrian-refugee-and-her-dog-tuti
