Migrant brother : From sacrifice to pride, this

is your way, this is your place.

If you feel yourself identified or alone

Brothers and sisters, we share the same story.

I am Lilly, a migrant like many of you, forced to leave my country because of conflicts, family problems or in search of a better future. The migrant's life is a university called ‘adventure’, full of sacrifices, humiliations and hard work, sometimes for just a few cents.

We have invented our own languages, we have felt lonely, mocked, or asked for help to understand papers or laws we don't know. But nothing has stopped us, because we dream of seeing our children grow up, study and integrate.

Sometimes, our children grow up, succeed and forget about us. That hurts. But we carry on, proud to have given them wings, even if we are left alone.

Thanks be to God and to the golden friends who accompany us on this journey. If you identify with my story, you are welcome.
