Help Bring Sayed Home

Once, in a faraway land, a 27-year-old young man named Sayed Habib Hashimi had dreams as vast as the Afghan skies he once soared through as a former Afghan National Army pilot. His journey, filled with courage and resilience, led him to seek refuge in the United States, escaping the turmoil that engulfed his homeland after the Taliban took control in August 2021.

Rising Above the Storm: Sayed's story was one of hope in the face of adversity. With dreams of peace and a brighter future for his family, he left everything behind in pursuit of safety. The United States offered him a glimmer of hope and a chance to rebuild his life.

But on September 5th, 2023, tragedy struck in Schiller Park, shattering the dreams and aspirations of a young man who had already endured so much. Sayed Habib Hashimi lost his life, leaving behind a grieving family in Afghanistan who longed to lay him to rest on his native soil.
