And You Think You've Got it Tough

Sitting in the Atlanta airport right now while on my way home from visiting my friend Muttaz and his family in Peterson, New Jersey.

It's all smiles in this photo, but this family is in for a real fight.

In the beginning of March of 2003, Muttaz Ibrahim ran a studio in Baghdad that produced advertising for Iraqi radio and television. He made a good living and continued to do so after the war started, working as a translator for 7 different Knight Ridder photographers.

But for the last couple of years he and his family have been living as refugees in Syria. They recently immigrated to the U.S.

The response to my last blog post was kind, and a bit overwhelming. Some of my friends that follow me on Twitter have inquired about how they might help Muttaz and his family.

I'd hate to post their photo, along with an address, online, but if you're serious about wanting to help, email me at travis@travisheying.com and I'll provide you their address.

Thanks in advance.
