Opportunity to Support Afghan Asylum Applicants |
|
Zoom to learn more: Saturday, January 22 at 9AM MST
Tela Schwebach, a young mother who began worshipping at St. Mark's this past summer, has been deeply involved over the past few years in helping an Afghan Family that arrived in the US under the SIV visa. She is now in the process of trying to help the extended family (3 brothers and their families) who are still in grave danger in Afghanistan complete Humanitarian Parole applications so that they can join their family in the US. At this point, each of the 20 family members remaining in Afghanistan needs a US Citizen who is willing to complete paperwork and serve as a "financial sponsor" on their behalf. Tela has worked through this process already (with the aid of a lawyer from Lutheran Family Services) to complete applications for the 3 brothers (who were directly assisting the US military, and therefore in the gravest danger).
Tela invites anyone who might be interested in hearing more about her experience or learn more about the current needs and opportunities to help to join us for an informal Zoom conversation this coming Saturday, January 22nd at 9AM Mountain Time. Click here for the zoom link Please feel free to invite others who might be interested.
