This is the story of Aveen who fled from war-torn Iraq and made a new home in California. He is from Kirkuk, Iraq and when he made it to California he faced many challenges including being homeless for some time. Times were difficult for Aveen because he didn't know anyone who could speak his native language. Aveen found comfort in his work at a restaurant and this inspired him to open his own Mediterranean Grill.
