A man from Colorado US is trying to get his wife and daughters back home who are stuck in Kabul, Afghanistan.
She and her children were said to be visiting family out in Afghanistan before the Taliban's military coup.
Reported by FOX 31, the anonymous father said that this wife had called him on Saturday and told him that the Taliban where all over the city.
He said: "My wife and my daughters for now are hiding in a house in Kabul.

"I think it's chaos. There are a lot of lives in danger."
Another man from Colorado is helping the father to bring back his family. Patrick Allen, is a retired US Army Special Forces colonel who served in Afghanistan and has reached out to US Representative Jason Crow for help.
Allen believes that the family will benefit from having US troops at the airport to help deal with the chaos and is hopeful that they will return home.
Allen said: "The immediate concern is we have US citizens - they were Afghan nationals who became US citizens - who are now stuck in Kabul.
"These are fellow Coloradans and fellow Americans we are working with in the very immediate to get out of Kabul."

Thankfully, it looks like the family may soon make it out of the country.
The anonymous man Allen is helping told CBS Local: "I'm very happy my kids are hopefully on a plane coming home soon.
"Patrick is like family to us. He's like a godfather."
In hopes of escaping the Taliban, Afghan locals were seen to be clinging to a US cargo plane as it prepared to take off from Kabul Airport.

Home Secretary Priti Patel told Sky News: "We have to ensure we have the support structures throughout the United Kingdom. We will be working with local councils throughout the country, the devolved governments as well.
"We are working quickly on this. We cannot accommodate 20,000 people all in one go. Currently we are bringing back almost 1,000 people a day.
"This is an enormous effort. We can't do this on our own. We have to work together."
