adversity-a state or instance of serious or continued difficulty or misfortune.

my mom:
in 1978 my mother was 27 years old and found the courage to escape my homeland “Laos” with her kids from communist, to a refugee camp in “Thailand” we lost a lot of our family members in this process but she did it!
january 23,1980 she got us to our new home “America” and found freedom!
she never gave up on us and always taught us to never give up.
44 years later, june 5,2024 at the age of 72, she works side by side with us in our restaurants, teaching us to work hard and never give up!
thank you mommy Nisaya Vongsouvanh for everything. we would be nothing without you!
YOU’RE MY HERO ❤️🙏🏽💯
