Relief for my sisters (recent refugees from Afghanistan)

Kia Ora,

My name is Shafiqa Madady. I’m using this platform to raise funds for my sisters (Saliha and Sabira) who were evacuated from Kabul, Afghanistan on August 28, 2021.

This fundraising campaign aims to raise $10,000 for emergency fund to support my sisters and my family. It will assist my sisters in lodging humanitarian visa applications for the rest of my family members, and the costs to cover their resettlement in the US.

On August 25th, they started their journey towards a new life. They rushed to the airport having only their passports and a single pair of clothing that they were wearing. With the amount of people wanting to leave Afghanistan, they had to wait three days to be evacuated. They took a flight to Saudi Arabia, then two additional flights to Spain and finally to the US. They are currently in Wisconsin refugee resettlement camp.

With the political upheaval in Afghanistan, the banks closed their doors. Unfortunately, my sisters like many Afghans, lost everything they had worked so hard to achieve. They now have to start all over again.

I am launching this fundraiser campaign to provide them what they need to start their new life in their new home.
