Narjes Al Hraishawi, 14, middle, grans onto her sister's Fatima, 8, face while holding her four-year-old brother, Baqer, on Wednesday, August 7, 2019, in their home in Columbia, Missouri. Narjes is the oldest daughter in a family of nine children ranging from one to 17-years of age who immigrated to the US roughly two years ago from Iraq after their father received death threats from Iraqi militia. Her mother is usually cooking dinner, cleaning, or taking care of the babies, which leaves some of the other maternal duties on Narjes. Her father spends months on end in Iraq continuing his work as a project supervisor for the US Army Core of Engineers in order to provide financial stability for the family who lives in public housing.
