PAST INITIATIVE - A MISSION OF RESCUE & HOPE

Assisting exit efforts in Afghanistan

A few years ago, we dedicated our efforts to helping evacuate Afghan allies to safety, recognizing the urgent need to protect those who stood beside U.S. forces during years of conflict. As a Veteran, Matt, alongside the Outer Circle Team, worked tirelessly with fellow Veterans, nonprofit organizations, and compassionate supporters to coordinate life-saving relocations for individuals and families at risk. In the face of uncertainty and danger, we mobilized resources, navigated complex logistical challenges, and ensured that our Afghan allies had a path to safety and stability. Thanks to the unwavering generosity of our donors and partners, we provided critical support, including

relocation assistance, emergency housing, and essential resources , helping refugees rebuild their lives in a new and unfamiliar world. This mission was not just about evacuation—it was about honoring promises, standing by those who served alongside us, and demonstrating that compassion, resilience, and decisive action can truly change lives. The impact of this effort continues to be felt today, and we remain deeply grateful to every individual who stood with us in this humanitarian mission.

Impact & Gratitude

This mission was made possible through the incredible generosity of our donors and volunteers, whose unwavering support has changed countless lives. Because of their dedication, families who once lived in fear and uncertainty have been given a second chance at life, finding safety, stability, and hope for the future. One such powerful story is that of CSM Nasar, a highly respected Afghan military leader who faced imminent danger due to his service and loyalty. Thanks to the collective efforts of our supporters, he and his family were successfully relocated to safety, allowing them to rebuild their lives free from fear. His journey is a profound reminder that compassion, action, and unity can make all the difference. Every contribution—whether through donations, advocacy, or volunteering—has a direct impact, proving that together, we can be a lifeline for those in need, offering not just rescue, but the opportunity for a brighter, more secure future.
