In my first article titled “We Have The Power To Make A Difference,” I shared with you Jalal’s story. It gave you a glimpse into what our Afghan ally, Jalal, and his family have been enduring since Afghanistan fell to the Taliban in August 2021. Like I mentioned, this is our first story with updates. 

This is Part 2 of their near-impossible journey. It will show you how we have been making some fantastic breakthroughs. We hope that these updates will encourage you.

The Weather Has Changed

The snowfall season begins in October in Afghanistan. Mazar e Sharif is located roughly 1,200 feet above sea level. During the day, winter temperatures can reach as low as 35°F, sometimes below freezing. Because precipitation is at its peak during winter, paired with freezing temperatures, snowfalls can be frequent and heavy. 

Even though the worst conditions haven’t arrived yet, they have already begun. The frigid and possibly devastating temperatures are an inevitable worry that keep Jalal and his wife awake at night. In winter, cold waves are possible, with peaks of -13 °F. For reference, at 15 below zero with a little bit of wind, frostbite is possible within 15 minutes. At 30 below zero, hypothermia can set in in about 10 minutes.

“My Children Have No Warm Cloths”

If you remember from Part 1 of Jalal’s story, he said this:

This is Part 2 of their near-impossible journey. It will show you how we have been making some fantastic breakthroughs.

What a heartbreaking statement… “My children have no warm cloths…” a statement no parent should ever have to make. But with them losing everything they owned, they barely had a backpack with basic necessities. Back in August, when they were planning on leaving Afghanistan, they weren’t even imagining that they would still be trapped there and that they would need to worry about Afghanistan’s harsh Winters.

To make it worse, Jalal’s 10-month old daughter got sick; so much so that she actually needed to visit a doctor. But how are you to do that when you are living in fear, hiding from assured retaliation from the Taliban? If they found out that Jalal had worked for the United States government, he’d be killed on the spot. Staying in a safe house, in close quarters with many others sharing a room full of mattresses and constantly battling to get healthy food on top of the cooler weather, it was a matter of time when the little one’s immune system would give out and she would get sick.

“It Means A Lot For Me”

Reading Jalal’s message was more than what we could bear. JJ, his POC (Point Of Contact), immediately got to work. He began researching ways on how to send money to Afghanistan. He worked diligently, but in all honesty, it proved to be more difficult than expected. After several tries, he finally succeeded and was able to send Jalal some cash. Through trial and error, the money needed to be transferred through one system into the country and through another system to get to Jalal.

A few days later, JJ touched base with Jalal and asked him if his daughter was better. He responded, “yes, she is ok  i received the money today, then i took her to doctor , and also bought them warm cloths , they are very happy , thank you very much   God bless you   it means a lot for me ,” After the doctor’s visit and the warm clothes for his children, they were only left with enough food for about one week. JJ sent them enough for a few more.

This is Part 2 of their near-impossible journey. It will show you how we have been making some fantastic breakthroughs.

  • How Project Exodus is assisting Afghans in surviving winter
    Here we are, over one year later, and we, Project Exodus Relief, are still working hard at assisting Afghans trapped in Afghanistan. We are still grappling with the disastrous aftermath of this new regime’s cruel rule in Afghanistan. Afghan nationals and American citizens continue to contact us in order to be evacuated from the country.
  • The Biggest Debacle in American History
    I would say that after a year, we have had zero official correspondence from the USG (United States Government) about our SOF partners, who, as I’ve said before, have helped us rescue the Americans. Meanwhile, the United States Government has stolen 20 million dollars in processing fees for the 66, 000 Humanitarian Parole visas that
  • Our Eyes on the Mission: One Year Later
    I’ve spent some significant time over the last weeks thinking, sometimes unwillingly, about this anniversary. Iwas there, in Kabul, in August 2021 with my friends both American and Afghan, many of whom I consider forever brothers. We all believed in what we were doing. But more, we believed in each other. Every day, we checked
