'Everything is different here': Afghans living in Wisconsin reflect on 1 year since fleeing their homes
WISCONSIN PUBLIC RADIO Farahnaz Asghari lives in Appleton with her husband and three-year-old son. Every morning, she video chats with her family back in Afghanistan. It’s been about a year since she last saw them.
"I cannot start my day without talking with my family members. Actually, there is a 10-hour time gap between here and their country. So in the morning for me, it's at night for them," Asghari said. "It helps me a lot. It makes me so happy to be able to at least talk to them, if I cannot see them for a long time."
Asghari left Afghanistan with her husband and child last September, shortly after the Taliban seized control of the country’s capital Kabul and the last of the U.S. military withdrew on August 30, 2021.
