Anais Sehmus: Hayfa Sehmus

anais sehmus: Hayfa Sehmus and her sister Serin arrived in Canada two years ago, according to CBC. They're originally from the town of Al-Hasakah in Syria. Thanks to help from an unlikely source, their struggle may end. Since they arrived, they've been trying to bring over their 26-year-old brother Anais. According to a medical document written by a Swedish doctor working in Iraq, Sehmus, who has been suffering from severe visual impairments since childhood, is in need of a corneal transplant after his eye rejected one performed 11 years ago. Anais Sehmus fled Syria's war and is living in Erbil, in northern Iraq. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
