She was eight months pregnant when she decided to come to the United States, along with her husband, two young daughters and teenage brother.
"I think it's just part of the mission of the Adventist system that we need to take care of people that are in need," said Pamela Constanza, manager of Women's Services and Infants at Centura Littleton Adventist Hospital."I think we really wanted to do something for somebody in that region, and this was an opportunity that we had that we could jump on."
Her baby, Regina, was born in June, weighing 9 pounds 7 ounces. Malik's hope is that her daughters grow up safe and in a better world. Until then, the family feels like part of the community that is helping them in their time of need.
