Neda's solider, Lee, is a retired military civilian working in Afghanistan as a contractor. Neda and Lee developed an incredible bond throughout his tour and he had contacted The Puppy Rescue Mission to help get her home. The amazing thing with Lee is that he wanted to pay Neda's entire way home and additionally, wanted to donate to help other rescues come home as well as help to purchase crates.
Sadly, Neda passed away before she made it home to Tennessee. While still in Afghanistan, she contracted a deadly disease. And despite tremendous effort at the facility - which has limited supplies and equipment - and from Neda herself, she did not make it. In her honor, Lee has vowed to fight for better equipment for the Afghan facility to help prevent this from happening again. In his own words: "I would love for anyone and everyone to donate any amount of money to The Puppy Rescue Mission on Facebook in Neda's honor. It's now my mission to establish a fund for the overall transit shelter needs for TPRM and increase their ability to manage sick animals. Just for starters, they could use some additional lab equipment for fecal samples, to ID infections. I want something positive to come from all this, that's what Neda was all about!!!"
To start The Neda Fund, Lee has chosen to donate Neda's entire transport amount to help TPRM improve vet services in Afghanistan.

About Neda
Neda Soltan Deckelman was found as a puppy by a U.S. Army Sergeant on the Afghanistan/Iran border. She was brought back to base camp where Lee Deckelman adopted her. She quickly became a member of BW Team 6. Before she could complete her journey to Tennessee, she fell ill at the shelter facility and passed away. Lee and his team members were devastated by the loss of Neda. She was bright, beautiful, brave and bold - loving and light-hearted - tough and tender. Her life may have been short, but it will now always be significant.
"I’m unable to articulate my joy for her life and those at TPRM who worked day and night to try and save her, nor can I put into words the pain and the loss I now feel. We thank you for all the prayers, love and support...I will carry Neda in my heart forever!"
Honoring our Fallen, Neda Soltan Deckelman
