About Nick
Until September 2021, "Nick" (a pen name, for security purposes) was a recently-mined US citizen, enjoying life in America. A native of Afghanistan, Nick earned US citizenship as a result of his service to America and Coalition forces, acting as a translator on four tours with US special forces, and one with Australian military, during which they went face-to-face with the most dangerous Taliban figures and cells. The above picture was taken of Nick in a US military transport.
Nick's service record
Interested parties may obtain documentation from the US Department of Defense, confirming that Nick worked as a translator on the following tours of duty:
Deployment 1, 2010-2013: With US Navy and Army, serving in Bagram Airfield, Camp Sabalu-Harrison and the Detention Facility in Parwan, until 2013
Deployment 2, 2013-2014: With 3rd Group Special Forces in Jalal Abad city and Tora Bora mountains, located in Pachir Wa Agam district of Nangarhar Province.
Deployment 3, 2014-2015: With 3rd Group Special Forces in Charikar province
Deployment 4, 2017-2019: With US Army Counterintelligence Team at Bagram Airfield. Participated in (a) Over 1,500 interrogation and PCASS (Preliminary Credibility Assessment Screening System) interviews with, bio enrollment of, and investigations into Afghan National Army personnel and Afghanistani locals, and (b) Over 500 “person-of-interest” (POI) interrogations of Afghan National Army officers, generals, soldiers and locals, in many provinces of Afghanistan
Deployment 5, 2020-2021: With Australian Defense Forces, on assignment at Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) with Coalition forces, developing Kabul security plans, providing assistance to Kabul Garrison Command (KGC), which was later dissolved and replaced by Kabul Joint Command (KJC), and Kabul Security Forces (KSF)
Nick's efforts to bring his family to America, which the US government promised it would help him to do
Since 2017, Nick has been working to get his family out of Afghanistan, under the Special Immigrant Visa process. Thanks to his long service as a translator, the US Department of State promised him and other loyal allies that it would help to bring his family to America. Unfortunately, until September 2021, State Department bureaucratic snafus prevented this from occurring.
Amid the chaos left in the wake of America's rushed, ill-conceived, poorly-executed departure from Afghanistan, in August 2021, its government collapsed, and its intelligence databases -- containing the identities of those who helped US and Coalition governments -- fell into the Taliban's possession. As a result, the Taliban has been hunting and executing anyone whom it suspects of being a US ally.
Since the Taliban takeover, Nick's efforts to get his family (seven people) out of Afghanistan took on new urgency, but his desire to help protect America resulted in him accepting a contract consulting position with the Department of Defense, to help screen Afghan refugees at a US military base. He performed this work from September 2021 through February 2022.
American multimedia designer, writer and freedom activist, Jon Sutz (JonSutz.com), began helping to connect Nick to US military veterans' groups that were quickly organized after the fall of Afghanistan, to rescue US citizens, and Afghan allies. Unfortunately, none of Nick's family members have been rescued, as of February 27, 2022.
A fundraiser has been organized to help rescue Nick's family, and that of another Afghan ally
Jon is now working with the Kenneth & Nira Abramowitz Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit (info here), promote a fundraising campaign they created to raise $125,000 to help rescue Nick's family, and that of another US ally (info here).
The bulk of the money raised by this campaign will be used to:
Transport Nick's family (7 members), and the family of another US ally (15 members; details here) to a safe nation, at a cost of $5,000 per person (22 total @ $5,000 per person = $110,000)
Provide housing, food and medical care to these two families, in the safe nation, as they apply for US asylum, and await a determination ($15,000)
Mechanically, the Abramowitz Foundation will be directing the bulk of these funds to the Doubting Thomas Research Foundation, another 501(c)3 nonprofit, which has been performing rescues, and providing evacuees with food and medical services; slide show here; donation portal here. As of mid-February 2022, however, the DTRF has depleted the $68,000 it raised for this effort.

Jon created the Afghan Ally Rescue Campaign, and persuaded The Abramowitz Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit (info here), to sponsor it. See:

Their objective is to raise $125,000 to help rescue Nick's family, and that of another US ally (info here).

UPDATE, September 11, 2022: Twitter shut down the Abramowitz Foundation's promotion to rescue US allies from the Taliban -- at the same time it is enabling the Taliban
As impossible as it sounds, this is exactly what happened -- and Jon produced a new 12-minute documentary with the proof of it, and much more.
