Meet the Kahn family

Sami and Nadia Kahn came to the U.S. from Morocco with a clear goal: build a stable, better life for their family. They share a small two-bedroom apartment with their three children—Youssef (12), Layla (9), and Adam (5)—where the living room often doubles as a workspace for Nadia’s sewing and a place for the kids to do homework.

Long days

Sami spends long hours driving for Uber and Lyft, managing his chronic eczema as best he can with medication, though flare-ups make even daily routines uncomfortable.

Quiet pain

Nadia takes on tailoring jobs from neighbors and friends, her skilled hands helping bring in extra income. But in recent months, she’s been quietly dealing with persistent abdominal pain, especially during her menstrual cycle—pain that’s becoming harder to ignore.

A system that feels foreign

Despite this, Nadia hesitates to seek care. The idea of navigating an unfamiliar healthcare system, explaining deeply personal symptoms, and seeing a provider who may not understand her cultural norms feels overwhelming. Sami shares her concern, unsure how to guide her toward care that feels safe and respectful.

The children notice

At home, the children sense the strain. Layla has started helping more with Adam, while Youssef watches his parents closely, aware that something isn’t quite right.

The family continues to push forward, doing what they can with what they have—but without the right support, small health concerns risk becoming much bigger ones.
