Meet Maryan


Maryan has had a big year! In May, Maryan graduated from Stratford High School with honors and also became a United States citizen.

Born in Somalia, Maryan and her family escaped civil war and fled to a refugee camp until September 18, 1999 when they were able to move to the United States for a better life.

This fall, Maryan heads to Austin Peay State University to study nursing. We are very proud of her accomplishments and are thrilled we've been able to be part of her journey!
