hello everyone, i’ll get straight to the point— my friend is stuck in Iraq because her parents tricked her into a one way trip. she was told that they would just be visiting family and vacationing, but by the end of the trip when they were supposed to start leaving, it was clear they were not going anywhere. her father ripped up her passport in front of her and now she is in need of a new passport, taxi funds to get to the US Embassy in Baghdad, money for a hotel to stay in, and a plane ticket. not to mention, when she comes back to the US she won’t have anywhere to stay or any of her belongings anymore. if you could DONATE even just a little bit, it would be greatly appreciated. please reblog this. some friends and i helped her make a gofundme because she’s unable to do so, here is the link, again PLEASE donate: https://www.gofundme.com/tricked-into-a-one-way-trip-to-iraq?utm_source=internal&utm_medium=email&utm_content=campaign_title&utm_campaign=donation_receiptv5

here’s a link to a twitter thread she was able to make with more information & proof as well: https://twitter.com/AmnaShawi/status/1078970647848673280
