Hope


This Somali man came to Chattanooga as a refugee from Egypt. He was severely burned when a bomb, thrown by police, went off during an election protest at the university in Somalia.
He thought getting treatment would be easy once he got to the U.S., but the price of medical attention here has been prohibitive. This was a great assignment to shoot. A moment of once again believing in the power of the press to accomplish something good. I hope the community rallies to support him.
