The Badger Six Team

Badger Six was created in 2022 as a non-profit charity dedicated to assisting the approximately 35 families of the men who fought alongside CIA Team Alpha and the U.S. Army Green Berets of ODA 595.

Our Badger Six team provides assistance to 35 Afghan families — which are large, sometimes a dozen or more — making our mission limited and finite. We personally know each Afghan partner or surviving widow who receives assistance. Everyone is vetted. Our support includes food, medicine, and financial aid in Afghanistan, help evacuating to a third country, support while in a third country, and resettlement assistance as needed after arrival in the U.S. A small number of our Afghan families have already been resettled in the U.S. under the P1 visa or SIV program. The remaining families are in the P1 process. We know that these will be successful immigrant families who will build flourishing lives here and contribute to our country for generations to come.

All donated money goes to support our Afghan friends. We have no paid staff or employees. The Badger Six team willingly gives its own time and expertise. We pay no office rent and have almost no overhead costs because Badger Six and its network of helpers consist solely of volunteers. The cost to support a family of seven in Afghanistan is approximately $400 per month. The cost of supporting a family in a neighboring country ranges from $800 to $1200 per month. The cost to resettle that family in the U.S. varies but is often around $75,000. We are delighted that the families we have supported after their arrival in the U.S. thus far have all become financially independent because of their resourcefulness, strong work ethic, sense of pride, and independence.

We are determined to help these Afghan families survive, rebuild, and thrive. They never gave up, and neither will we. Our path forward is clear — stand with those who stood with us.
