How has Anna's life changed since arriving in America as an asylum seeker?

Anna, a 34-year-old mother, arrived in America after a harrowing two-month journey through seven countries, including the treacherous Darien Gap. After crossing the border in Texas while eight months pregnant, she gave birth to a son who is now a US citizen. Her family of four has settled in New York, where they rely on social services and volunteers while awaiting work papers. Though initially feeling safe in America, the political climate has shifted with immigration raids and policy changes under the Trump administration, creating uncertainty for Anna's family as they attempt to establish themselves in their new country.
