Meet Faiz and his son Wasiqullah. Separated when they were forced to flee their home in Afghanistan, they hadn’t seen each other in years. This is the story of how they were reunited.

Just days before the family was set to meet, the U.S.’s Refugee Admissions Program was suspended. Though Wasiqullah’s authorization was not impacted, many refugee families hoping to reunite weren’t so lucky and remain indefinitely separated.

We’re proud to be part of the story of Faiz’s family and so many others like them. We’ll never stop fighting to keep refugees families together and safe.
