Help Support the Poya Family - Refugees from Afghanistan

My name is Nejat, a close friend of Poya for over 10 years. We studied at the same pilot academy in Afghanistan.

Abdulhai Poya and his wife, Parisa, arrived in the United States as refugees from Afghanistan in April 2024 with their two children, Sorhaib and Afnan. Poya was a military pilot in Afghanistan who flew helicopters, training alongside the US pilots. He resettled in the US and is excited to build a life in Rhode Island.

On August 17, 2024, Poya suffered a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. He remains in a coma and we are raising funds to help support Parisa through this time. The funds will go towards Poya's medical bills, as well as to help cover other expenses that the family is facing (such as rent, food, other bills, and childcare).

All funds will go to Parisa to be used to cover these expenses and to have money set aside as they face the challenges ahead. We are grateful for any and all donations for Poya and his family.
