Esa Khan, one of the victims of the Afghan Asylum Attack in Iran that was burnt to death in the city Yazd. The purpose of his travel was to seek employment and financially help his family that has been living below poverty for decades. Esa Khan was an orphan himself spent most of his childhood and adulthood living below poverty and going to bed with an empty stomach.

Two years ago, he started a family of his own and married his wife. Shortly after, he became father a little boy who completed his world. Unable to provide for his family of three, Esa Khan tried to seek refuge in Iran so he can provide better living conditions for his family and also to ensure that his family doesn’t endure what he did. Little did he know that his decision would leave his wife a widow and his child an orphan.

Esa Khan leaves behind a young wife and his son along with his mother. His mother has been devastated with the sudden loss of his son. With the family’s current condition and without a breadwinner, they are living in a one bedroom shared place with three other families.

These are the beneficiaries that will be receiving the funds raised from this campaign. We cannot bring Esa khan back but we can definitely ensure to change his hope of giving his family a new beginning into a reality. Please donate generously!

“Please bring me water. I’m burning.” are the cries of Shaheed Hikmatullah that is still being echoed in his widow mother's ears. During his last hours, he begged the pedestrians for water after he was severely burnt in the city of Yazd, Iran.

At the age of 13, Hikmat’s father passed away leaving him with the burden of providing for his young widowed mother and 4 siblings. They live in a rural area in Faryab in the district of Qaisar. Despite working long hours and doing physical labour, Hikmat was still unable to bring a full meal to their table, which resulted in them going deeper in debt. With debtors knocking on their door daily and not having ends meet, Hikmat saw no other option but to take off to Iran with his cousin Lutfullah to find a job so he can pay their loans and provide for his family.

Unfortunately, Hikmat’s life was cut short and leaving his cousin fighting for his life. Hikmat is survived by his young widowed mother (36 yrs-old) and 4 siblings. His cousin, Lutfullah, continues to be in the ICU and is fighting for his life. Hikmat’s mother is not only to mourn for his eldest son’s untimely death, but with huge loans and no source of income. Similar to Hikmat, all these families live below poverty and have either lost their breadwinners or are currently handcuffed to their beds in Iran.
