Save Aysha and her Family

Please join me and my family in helping to save a heroic Afghan interpreter, Muhammad Kamran, and his family from the Taliban. Muhammad and his family are in critical danger from the Taliban due to his work for many years as an interpreter for UK, US, and other NATO forces and later for high-level positions in the UN fighting the drug trade and other crime and running anti-Taliban community programs. As a result, the Taliban repeatedly targeted Muhammad and his family and tried to kill them. He and his family fled to Pakistan several years ago and have been living in hiding in Pakistan ever since. Now Pakistan is in the midst of a large crackdown on Afghan refugees, and the Kamran family has been told by Pakistani police that they will be deported soon. This will be a death sentence for them if they are forced back to Afghanistan to face the Taliban.

My family and I have been assisting the Kamran family for many years, helping them stay in hiding in Pakistan and helping them apply for any possible opportunities for visas to safe countries. Unfortunately, few countries take many Afghan refugees and those that do are very slow and backlogged. But we finally got some great news – the Kamran family was recently approved by the UK for their Afghan refugee resettlement program.

Since the family has refugee cards instead of Pakistani visas and Pakistan is no longer accepting refugee cards from Afghans, we will have to raise money for Pakistani visas (which are now very expensive), exit visas, airfare, and other expenses to be able to finish the processing and get the family to safety as soon as possible. We estimate that all the expenses will be about $20,000 for the family. And we need to act quickly to get the family to safety before they get deported as many Afghans have in the last couple of weeks. Please join us in helping get this family to safety! Any amount is appreciated.
