Help Zvi Harpaz and his family through these difficult times

Dear friends and fellow travelers,

We are reaching out to you today to ask for your support for Zvi Harpaz, a dedicated Israeli tour guide who has spent his life sharing the beauty and history of the Holy Land, especially its sacred Christian sites, with visitors from around the world. Zvi has been a beacon of knowledge and hospitality, offering profound and enriching experiences that bridge cultural and religious divides.

But now, Zvi and his family are in desperate need of our help. The past few years have been nothing short of devastating for them. The COVID-19 pandemic left Zvi without work for over two years, draining their savings and leaving them financially vulnerable. Just as they began to recover, a new and even more profound crisis struck.

Since October 7th, 2023, the region has been under siege from violent attacks, bringing Israel's tourism industry to a complete halt. For over 10 months, Zvi has been without any income, while the bills and expenses have only continued to pile up. The financial burden has become overwhelming, and the situation is dire.

Adding to this already overwhelming situation, Zvi’s wife, Meyrav, is currently undergoing breast cancer treatments. Despite the immense challenges they face, Meyrav's positive attitude and determination remain unwavering, inspiring all those around her.

Even in the face of such adversity, Zvi has not given up. Along with Meyrav and Boaz, a close friend and fellow guide, they pooled together their remaining savings to create TOURMEAPP, a groundbreaking platform for virtual travel to Israel. This app, available for free download on the App Store and Google Play, offers users the next best thing to being there in person. While nothing can replace the experience of visiting Israel in person, TOURMEAPP allows you to explore the country’s wonders from your own home. We encourage you to download the app now, experience its offerings, and leave a positive review to show your support.

We are launching this GoFundMe campaign to raise much-needed funds to help Zvi and his family through this incredibly challenging time. The money raised will go directly towards covering their immediate needs, such as essential living expenses, mounting bills, and medical costs.

Zvi Harpaz is more than just a tour guide; he is a storyteller, a cultural ambassador, and a bridge between communities. Now, more than ever, he needs our support to continue his mission of fostering understanding and appreciation for Israel’s rich heritage.

Please join us in supporting Zvi Harpaz, a man who has dedicated his life to connecting people through the magic of travel. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in helping Zvi and his family navigate these incredibly tough times and ensure that his invaluable work can continue.

Thank you for your kindness and support.
