Abstract

Mariam, a 32-year-old mother of three from Aleppo, Syria, once lived a peaceful life before war shattered her world. After her husband went missing, she fled with her children, crossing into Turkey on foot, surviving treacherous conditions, and facing malnutrition, infections, and psychological trauma. Upon reaching Canada, Mariam encountered new challenges: language barriers, navigating a foreign healthcare system, and battling severe anxiety and depression. But her determination to rebuild a life for her children was unwavering.
