Help Zee Who Helped US

Zalmay Niazy has a fight for his life ahead of him. As many know, Zalmay “Zee“ was hired by the US Army to serve as interpreter. In 2007, Zee was recognized by Captain Robert Song, “for exposing several instances of corruption“ that saved the lives of US troops. However, because of something he did prior to this, as a 9 year old child under duress, his asylum case is in question.

We want to do everything we can to support this member of our community who has ingrained himself in our hearts and our lives through his friendship, talents, and public service. Many have expressed the desire to donate money for lawyer fees, travel, and any other expenses that arise in a fight such as this. Though he would never ask for money for himself, he is so grateful for the messages, phone calls, love and support that he has received from the Iowa Falls community and beyond. It gives him hope and the strength to keep fighting to stay in the United States. Let’s show our support and fight for Zee!
