Dear LIRS Supporter,

They risked everything to serve our nation. Now, they need our help.

[link removed]

For two decades, the U.S. Government has employed Afghan allies to
serve alongside U.S. troops, diplomats, and other government employees
as interpreters, translators, cultural advisors, drivers, and more.
Because of their service to the U.S. mission, our allies and their
families are now targets of anti-American violence.

Our friends are fleeing for their lives. They need your support.

More than 18,000 Afghans who served alongside U.S. armed forces face a
severe backlog in the processing of their Special Immigrant Visas
(SIVs), which would allow them to relocate to safety in the United
States. While they await processing and flights, our Afghan allies and
their families are in grave danger and at risk of retaliatory attacks
from the Taliban.

In the past several weeks, LIRS has seen an unprecedented number of
SIV "walk-in" clients-those who have received their
visas and have traveled to the United States on their own instead of
pre-arranged flights. When our Afghan allies and their families
arrive, they often have little more than the clothes on their backs.
Many have no money, nowhere to stay, and nothing to eat. With your
support, we can help.

Unfortunately, however, there is typically a 5-7 day gap between these
families' arrivals and the services they are eligible to receive
through the United States resettlement program.

And because of the urgency around this need, an LIRS board member is
offering a $10,000 matching gift, meaning all gifts given up to
$10,000 will be matched dollar for dollar.
