Support Family of Murdered Afghan Interpreter

Nasrat Ahmad Yar, a dedicated local national interpreter who bravely served alongside U.S. Army Special Forces in Afghanistan for a decade, brought his family to the United States after the collapse of the Afghan government in August 2021. After settling in Alexandria, Virginia, Nasrat wasted no time in securing employment as a tow truck driver and rideshare driver to provide for his loved ones.

Nasrat's commitment to his family and community was unwavering. He always extended a helping hand to friends and family and readily assisted anyone in need. He was immensely proud to be in the U.S., and grateful for the safety and opportunities that would be afforded to his four young children.

Tragically, on July 3rd, 2023, Nasrat's life was cut short when he was shot and killed while working an extra late shift for a rideshare company in Washington D.C. This devastating loss has left a void that cannot be filled in the lives of numerous family members and friends. Nasrat was the sole provider for his wife and four children, aged 15 months to 13 years.

We invite you to join us in honoring the memory of Nasrat Ahmad Yar and supporting his grieving family during this challenging time. Every contribution to this fundraiser will directly assist Nasrat's widow in meeting their basic living expenses and covering essential needs as they strive to rebuild their lives without him.

By donating to this cause, you become a beacon of hope for Nasrat's family, ensuring that they can navigate the path ahead with the support and stability they desperately need. Your generosity will make a significant difference in alleviating their financial burdens as they work towards a brighter future. Join us in making this fundraiser a resounding success and empowering his family with the resources and care they deserve.

All funds raised through this campaign will be directly disbursed to Nasrat's widow by the non-profit organization Heart of an Ace to support the immediate and ongoing needs of their family.
