Funding for Humanitarian Parole

The funds raised will go through UpSet Press' bank and will be used to pay for the processing fees for Humanitarian Parole fees that we make from the States. The processing fees go to the USCIS for Humanitarian Parole Application Fees. The paperwork for Humanitarian Parole has been generously taken up by the pro-bono legal team at Neighbors Link https://www.neighborslink.org/

Remaining funds will be used for resettlement. 

 

UpSet Press Inc, a small independent press based in Brooklyn, is sponsoring an Afghan writer, an Afghan teacher, and family of 11 members for Humanitarian Parole. We are doing our best to keep this family's identity anonymous because they live in the provinces and are in hiding.

 

Donors, since UpSet Press is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, your donations are tax-deductible and we are happy to give you a letter affirming your contribution. We will keep you updated on all progress and will share any news of this incredible family. At UpSet Press, we work with poetry and with marginalized voices. This moment has forced us to respond in direct support of our friends. We thank you for your support and for standing with us!
