who else will pay our rent

Naa'il and his family fled the fighting in Baghdad in 2003 when he was 13. He enjoyed school while they were living in Iraq, but since arriving in Damascus, Syria, he hasn't been able to attend. He is the only person supporting his family, and he has worked illegally at the same hotel since they first arrived.
His father, Ghani, has severe diabetes, and had to have his foot partially amputated because of gangrene... Naa'il's grandmother, who is also living with the family, is disabled and unable to leave the house; Naa'il's mother, Anna, is the only caretaker for her husband and mother. They are aware that Naa'il does have the ability to attend Syrian schools, but without his job, they have no means to support the family. "Who else will pay our rent? Who else will pay for water and food?" Anna asks.
