KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As a boy in Afghanistan, Rezwan Kohistani dreamed of being a respected doctor and helping people.
When he and his family escaped war-torn Kabul last August, his parents hoped resettling to the United States would bring their oldest son closer to that dream and give his five siblings a chance at a quality education in a safe place.
Maybe they’d end up in Dallas, where extended family already lived. Or Los Angeles. Either city would give them the emotional support and community they needed.
