His three younger sisters, Parisa, Afrand and Alya are high school students. They share a 3 bedroom apartment in the heart of downtown.

" thank god my mom has a nice job, she provides for all of our needs, I want to become like my mom one day" Seyawash Qhasimy is one the ten thousand lucky family manage to escape the Iranian regime.
As the tension rose between Iran and US, jobs were slowly disappearing, the currency was depreciating and the thought of leaving the country was almost becoming impossible. Fatima was worried about her kids, with not having their father around at times I felt lost and frustrated. Seyawash`s father passed away from kidney disease when he was in high school.
" I miss my father, he was a great person, I remember when he was passing away, he looked at me and said, take care of your sisters. I have his blessings, I am going to be there for my sisters.
