Save Abdullah and His Cat Adrianna

My name is Jessica, writing from Arizona with an urgent plea for someone I deeply respect: Abdullah Zakaria. Abdullah is compassionate, strong, and selfless. But now, he’s trapped in a place where life has become almost unlivable. There’s no access to affordable food, medicine, or clean water. Prices have skyrocketed. Survival depends on outside help—and time is running out. At the heart of it all is Adrianna—his beloved cat.

Adrianna: His Only Light

Adrianna isn’t just a pet. She’s his best friend and the only source of comfort he has left. Abdullah has done everything possible to keep her healthy, even when he goes without food himself. But now she’s suffering from malnutrition, and he fears losing her. “She’s the only light left in my life,” he told me. “I can’t lose her too.”

A Family in Crisis

Abdullah suffers from epilepsy and a painful bone condition called Multiple Hereditary Exostoses. Without medication, his seizures are worsening. He’s in pain and physically weakening—but still the sole provider for his large family, including elderly parents with serious health issues. His mother is losing her vision from untreated diabetes. His father has high blood pressure. They rely on him for everything. He relies entirely on donations to survive.

They Must Flee—Now

Abdullah and his family are in a region on the brink. Forces are closing in on the area they’ve been sheltering in, and it's no longer safe to stay. The risk of total isolation, starvation, or worse is rising by the hour. He needs to evacuate as soon as possible—but fleeing requires resources he doesn’t have. Without emergency funds ready, escape is impossible.

Survival Costs Are Crushing

They are living in a bare shelter that costs $1,000 a month—with no electricity or running water. Food is scarce and outrageously expensive. Here's what it takes to survive:

$1,000/month for shelter

$500/month for transport

$3,800/week for food, medicine, baby formula, and internet

$5,000+ emergency evacuation fund

50% of donations lost to cash commissions

Because of fees, Abdullah needs nearly $8,000 per week just to keep his family and Adrianna alive.

How You Can Help

Abdullah is starving, exhausted, and running out of time. Every donation helps him buy food, medication, care for Adrianna, and prepare for the evacuation his family urgently needs. He’s not just trying to survive—he’s desperate to rebuild a future where his family can live in safety, and Adrianna can thrive again.

Please give what you can. If you can’t donate, share this with others. Every act of support brings him one step closer to safety and hope.

Thank you for your kindness,

Jessica
