Yousef was smuggled out of Afghanistan as a boy to escape the dangers of war. He became displaced physically, culturally and emotionally and experienced a series of harrowing events on his journey to finding a home. His one solace throughout was football, which not only saved his life but inspired him to use his experience to help others.
