Crystal

Crystal and her husband

I met my husband on a trip to Turkey. He is a good, hardworking man. The problem? He is a Syrian refugee and Muslim. We kept hoping the ban would be permanently stopped so he could join me in the States. With no solution forthcoming, I must move overseas to be with him. I don't mind, really, but the financial difficulty of me moving there is greater than bringing him here. I have a daughter to consider as well. I am not sure how things will play out, but I pray that the ban is stopped, and those fleeing persecution and death can find the safety and freedom America was supposed to embody.
