"Flanders Fields, one organization among many others, is struggling diligently to fulfill broken promises to our Afghan allies. These men, women, and children were promised safe passage and asylum because of their service to our troops. These people were completely abandoned to be hunted down by a vicious and vindictive new regime. Now it is down to us, as true Patriots and champions for justice, to save these people that fought side by side with us for 20 years. These are men, and their families, who I personally fought next to, fighting the Taliban regime, on a daily basis. These are lawyers, engineers, professors, doctors, former special forces soldiers, high ranking military officials, and they need our help. These are children who just want to play soccer outside for the first time in their lives. These are amazing people that I would be proud to call neighbors and that’s why we need your help. We are currently managing safe houses, hotel arrangements, meals, multiple transport options, and much more, but we cannot do it alone. To date, your donations have saved hundreds of men, women, and children that were slated for execution by Taliban forces. Thousands more are still at risk, and we are hearing about executions with increasing regularity every day. Right now, it costs us roughly $5,000 USD to get someone all the way to safety and out of Afghanistan. Please consider donating what you are able – this is a case where every dollar has an immediate life-saving impact." — Director, Tyler Ledford |
