Afghan Promise

My name is Mike Crandall and I am a retired veteran who last served in Afghanistan in 2008. During this deployment I had the honor of working with an interpreter named Wahid whose family "adopted" me. For those who are unaware the Afghan interpreters who served with us risked their lives on a daily basis in their support of the U.S. / NATO military. Our Government promised to protect the interpreters and their families if they served with us. Veterans see those who served with us as "brothers in arms" and not "refugees". I started Afghan Promise to help get "MY" Afghan family out of danger. I started a "GoFundMe" in the beginning with the hopes of raising $35,000 to support the evacuation of Wahid's family. Since that time I have had the great fortune to meet some wonderful people along this journey and founded the IRS 501(c)(3) Charity, Afghan Promise to not only help "My" family but spread the word and hopefully help other families also in need. With fellow veteran organizations we are hopeful to find ways to safely get at risk Afghans out of Afghanistan. As with most things in life it takes time and comes with a cost. Your tax deductible donation funds food and clothing while we wait for the US State Department processes the SIV paperwork. $125 feeds a family for a month. We cannot do this alone. The hardest thing for a veteran to do is ask for help but we do need your support. Can you donate and / or spread the word? 10 people donating $12.50 (A few cups of coffee) saves a families life!! https://www.afghanpromise.org
