My name is Zabih. I came to the U.S. in August of 2021 with my four-year-old brother Mojib, escaping from Afghanistan when the Taliban took over.

I am currently working at Walmart to earn money to support myself and my brother Mojib, and to raise funds for my asylum application, but the money is not enough. It is difficult to pay for everything and child care because Mojib is not old enough to go to school while I am at work. Thank you for your help.

You can see more about myself and Mojib and how we came to America in this LA Times article.
