AURORA, Colo. — As they sit in a friend's house, Ridah Nejadi, 17, and his sister, Rusul, 15, say they are trying to remember the good times with their parents.Their parents brought them to the United States from Iraq when they were little.
"My parents, they were really good people, really good providers and everything. Especially my mom, my mom was, like, the best mom ever. She was the best person," remembered Rusul.On the evening of Feb. 11, officers with the Denver Police Department responded to the family's home in the 5400 block of Topeka Court for reports of a shooting.
"Me and mom were talking, like, five minutes before it happened. We were doing gift bags for my sister's birthday party. And then we were also talking about my sweet 16 and stuff. And then that's literally all there is before it happened," said Rusul."I wake up every morning hoping that it's a nightmare."
Rusul's teacher at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Early College, Pamela Leonidas, launched a GoFundMe for the four kids as they face their uncertain future. They have no family members who live in the United States.
