Abdullah's Story

Abdullah, a refugee from Afghanistan, came to the U.S. in 2021 and launched a rideshare business with a Thrive loan. His work not only provides for his family—it supports the local economy.


Earlier this year, Abdullah made headlines when he risked his life to protect a police officer injured in a hit-and-run. He blocked traffic with his vehicle and called for help, saving the officer’s life—a reminder of the courage and compassion within our Thrive community.
