Chandra, 27, is a mother of two and left Nepal 5 years ago explaining that she “wanted a better life for my children.” When asked if she was happy in Syracuse Chandra smiled and looked around her humble home, “My children are getting a good education and this space is my palace—we never had electricity or running water before coming to America." Though she studied at university in Nepal Chandra has struggled to find well-paying work; she currently works 7 days a week at Popeye’s chicken and her husband works the night shift at a Syracuse packing facility.
