<div>We are raising funds to evacuate a U.S.-allied Afghan family to the United States, including three children. This past March, a collective effort on this platform helped bring two teenage, Afghan girls to safety so that they could attend school in the Berkshires. This new effort will now reunite the girls with their beloved family. Their father worked alongside the U.S. military in Afghanistan for over a decade, which put his life in extreme danger after the rise of the Taliban. After a multi-year vetting process, he has secured a special visa that will allow the family to relocate to the U.S. to live in peace and security. However, all funding for this military and humanitarian program has been paused by the current administration. We are urgently raising funds to secure passage for this family and relocate them safely in the Berkshires.
