About us – Keeping Our Nation’s Promises!

Supporting Afghan Families, a local 501c3 charity is led by Retired Army Colonel, Mark L. Rathburn, along with our board of community leaders, including an American with expertise beyond Kabul in Taliban controlled warzones. After serving multiple tours, Mark’s team has responded to the heart-wrenching evacuation of Kabul in August of 2021 leaving behind their Afghan Brothers-in-arms, and their families.

Our Vision is supporting Afghan families with immigration assistance because they stood by our service-members keeping them safe.  Sadly, these families, approved through the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program are caught in limbo, sometimes months and years while awaiting final immigration approval. Monthly, we deliver food and life support to these families in hiding. They are hunted and in fear of not only their life, but the lives of their extended family.

Donations from YOU, are transferred to our in-country Afghan partners, directly to vetted waiting families. Many Afghan lives are saved by networking with other Afghan rescue organizations in collaboration with Congressional Representatives, State Department Immigration Offices, and Embassies.

As a 100% volunteer organization, we rely entirely on citizen participation!

With your donations, we have anonymous donors willing to match up to $2,000!
• $100 feeds a family of four for one month.
• $50 buys a phone card critical for internet and communication access

Become a warrior of the human spirit!
Help us to save lives one Afghan family at a time.
