Dear friends, family, and all those who’ve been touched by Zharif’s incredible spirit,

Zharif is currently facing one of the toughest challenges of his life. While on vacation in Mexico, he suffered a severe head injury, a broken collarbone, and is now in a coma, bravely fighting for his life against sepsis. Though he’s not yet stable, his family is by his side, navigating the complex process of bringing him safely back to the United States for continued care.

Zharif is a beloved figure in so many circles—whether you know him from his travels, professional life, the acro community, the rave scene, jiu-jitsu, Pokemon, or just as the friend who’s always there to lend a hand. He’s the guy helping friends film their aerial routines, cheering people on at fire performances, and supporting everyone around him.

Now it’s our turn to support Zharif. We’re rallying together to help cover the medical costs and the logistics of getting him the care he needs. Every contribution, big or small, will make a difference in ensuring Zharif has a fighting chance and that his family can focus on what matters most: his recovery.

Thank you for being a part of Zharif’s community and for any support you can offer. Let’s come together and help bring our friend home.
