Mohamed’s journey from farming in Somalia to working in a Minneapolis operating room
January 13, 2022
Mohamed fled his home in Somalia 30 years ago, surviving a terrible accident during his escape that left him with third degree burns over 30% of his body. He endured months on the road and in a refugee camp without proper medical care for his terrible injuries. When he finally did receive such care in Kenya, three months after he was burned, that care changed his life. A kind nurse who cared for him as he endured skin graft surgeries inspired him to someday provide such care for others.
