Help a champion paraglider from Afghanistan

This post is to raise money for an Afghan friend and her sister who are currently staying in Pakistan. One sister, who is 24, is waiting to get an eye operation to save her eyesight. The other needs treatment for injuries she sustained during a paragliding accident at the Asian Games in 2018.

This gofundme campaign is meant to help us continue to support the women while they wait for medical treatment, since they will be unable to work and their family’s resources have been devastated by the financial and other crises unfolding in Afghanistan. It will also cover any application or lawyers' fees for future visas. If any is left over, we will donate it to Doctors Without Borders.

I hope you feel moved to help. Financial help is the most obvious way, but even words of support and ideas of other networks or people to reach out to are welcome! Thank you for reading until the end!
