On April 28th, Abdul Rahman Waziri was shot and killed in a senseless dispute over parking. His name was not just “another victim” in the headlines—he was a father, a husband, and a former member of the National Mine Reduction Group (NMRG), the elite Afghan unit that protected U.S. Special Forces from IEDs for nearly two decades.

He survived one of the most dangerous jobs in Afghanistan, working side by side with Green Berets, clearing explosive devices buried to kill Americans. But after years of waiting in immigration limbo and finally resettling in the U.S., he was killed in a place he thought was safe.

He had risked his life for this country. We cannot let his death be met with silence.

This GoFundMe is being organized with support from members of the veteran community who served alongside the NMRG. Every dollar raised will go directly to his widow and children, helping them cover funeral costs, legal support, and housing stability during a time of unthinkable loss.

The 1208 Foundation, a veteran-led nonprofit that exists solely to support former NMRG members, has verified this case and will ensure that funds are responsibly directed.

If you’ve ever wondered how you could show gratitude to those who served beside Americans in war—this is one way. Let’s stand by his family, just as he once stood by ours.

All funds will go to Abdul Rahman’s surviving family.
