My name is Jessica, and I’m reaching out from Arizona with a desperate plea for help. Muhammad Zakaria is a devoted father of three, a gentle and resilient soul who somehow survived an unthinkable tragedy—a violent strike that tore through his neighborhood and left him gravely injured.

He’s now living in a place where the sky isn’t safe, the ground offers no refuge, and survival is a daily fight.

Muhammad has lost everything—his home, his livelihood, his health. What remains is his will to keep his children alive. But he cannot do it alone.

His injuries require continuous medical care, and food prices are staggering—about $200 per day for the most basic food and treatment. But even beyond his urgent medical needs, the cost of everyday survival is impossible in his region. Here's the brutal reality of what he's up against:

Flour: $500 for a 25kg (55-pound) bag

Non-dairy powdered milk: $124 per kilo (or $1 per spoonful)

Cucumber: $14 per kilo

Eggplant: $15 per kilo

Tomatoes: $20 per kilo

Gas for cooking a single meal: $100

Meat, dairy, and eggs are not even available.

These are not luxuries—they’re the bare essentials to keep his children fed and alive. Every dollar makes a difference between hunger and nourishment, between infection and healing, between despair and hope.

Muhammad is trying with everything he has left, but the odds are brutal. His three young children look to him for safety and food, but he has nothing left to give without your help.

Please, if you’re reading this, open your heart and donate whatever you can. Help Muhammad stand again, feed his children, and survive one more day. Share this with your friends, your family, and your communities.

He doesn’t need comfort—he needs a lifeline.

Thank you for being that lifeline.
