Twins Support Funds

Hello my name is Reem. I am a 21-year-old college student in the Bronx. I also have a twin sister named Reeham. My sister and I live with our parents. They are both disabled and the only family that we have here. My dad has been diagnosed with diabetes, kidney failure, glaucoma, epileptic seizures, and lymphoma skin cancer. My mom has suffered from malpractice which is a mistake procedure done by a doctor. This caused her to be disabled. Throughout the years she suffered from depression. This has had a huge affect on us growing up. 

By age 12 we had taken most of the house hold responsibilities. When we got into high school we started working part time to help our parents pay bills and bring food to the table. Our goal is to graduate and get a college degree. We’ve worked in a pharmacy for 3 years while being a full time student. We are now a senior at Lehman College striving to purse our goal as future educators. We quit our job about 7 months ago to focus on school so we can graduate on time. It’s been a struggle emotionally and financially. About 2 years ago, we’ve had a total of 3 floods months apart. This caused us to lose all of our funitures.  

Our wish is to move out. Our parents have no idea we started this fund and we would like to surprise them. They are still hopeful that change will come our way and we are thankful that our parents are still alive. We have learned to appreciate life at its simplest. This has only made us stronger. We would greatly appreciate your prayers for our family! Anything will be extremely appreciated and even if you cant, sharing this will help. Thank you for even taking the time to read this. It means everything to us. God bless!
