Tooba (10) is the youngest girl of Hasan Momeni, A veteran from Iran-Iraq war with PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder) problem which died of heart disease five years ago. Tooba with her older sister Ameneh and her mother lives in a rental house. The lack of support from the related organizations on the one hand and the harassment of the landlord on the other hand, have made it hard for them to live. After publishing my report from this family through the different news sites and informing the society of their living conditions, a government agency has rented a house for them to live in. Although all three are suffering from PTSD type II, but Tooba is the healthiest member of this family, Unlike Ameneh that has dropped out her study since her childhood, Tooba is studying hard and wishes to become a pharmacist in the future to treat everyone and specially her mother which is always sick.
