Meet Sima

Sima was forced to leave her home country of Iran due to religious persecution. After waiting for three years in neighboring Turkey, Sima and her son were resettled in North Hill as refugees where they began to build a new life in a place where they knew no one. Fortunately, they were introduced to Legacies of Success when they were looking for a new place to rent.

After renting from LOS for two years, Sima expressed an interest in becoming a homeowner and entrusted Legacies of Success to help her achieve that goal. Our ministry walked with Sima every step of the way as she realized her dream of homeownership in 2023, just in time for Christmas!

Since becoming a homeowner, Sima's low monthly mortgage payment has allowed her to leave her grueling factory job to accept a job as a chef in a neighborhood restaurant. Now she has time and energy to serve as an interpreter for newly arrived refugees to help them adjust to their new country. She has loved getting to decorate for Christmas and enjoys welcoming guests into her home for a shared meal.
