Bhim D.’s Keys

Set of Keys

My keys remind me how far I've come. I lived in a refugee camp for 16 years after my family was forced to leave my country. 

Life in the refugee camp was one of scarcity and solitude. When I got to the US in 2008, the people in my community welcomed me, help me get settled, and helped me find work. I was able to save up and buy a house after a few years. 

Back in the camp, you didn't own anything. You couldn't lock anything. These keys inspire me to keep helping others.
