Her Greatest Fears
A few of our mothers opened up and got vulnerable about what scares them the most. Some were afraid of being alone; some were afraid of failing their children. These fears are common and relatable but imagine dealing with these feelings on top of the existential crisis of surviving in a world that consistently overlooks their needs.

My biggest fear is like, to grow old.[unintelligible] The day my children aren't with me. Growing old, because I’m not a resident, and maybe having to go back to the country where I'm from by myself, that's my fear. Sometimes I also feel fear, like I just lost my parents, and I won’t see them again because I can't travel, and since I've been here I haven't seen them. I haven't gone back to see my mom or my dad, so sometimes it's, not fear, but like, I don't know, like sadness maybe.
