“Hope from the Ashes: The Story of Omar, Doaa, and Zeko”


We have been through unimaginable hardships. My wife Doaa, our son Zeko, and I once lived a simple life, full of love and warmth. But war showed no mercy. It tore through our lives, stripping away any sense of stability. Zeko, our precious two-year-old, has been forced to live in a world filled with fear and turmoil, and as parents, we’ve struggled tirelessly to shield him and give him the life he deserves.


Each day felt like a battle – not just against the war that destroyed our home, but against the emotional scars it left on our hearts. The fear of what tomorrow holds, the anxiety over our son’s safety, it all weighed so heavily on us. But despite everything, the love we share as a family has been the light guiding us through this darkness.

War has taught us pain and endurance, but it has also shown us how to love each other even more deeply. Today, we search for hope again. We long to give Zeko the childhood he deserves, to build a better future for him. But we cannot do it alone. We need your support to stand back up and face the struggles of this difficult life.

Your donation will be a new hope for our little family. It will help us rebuild our lives, providing Zeko with a safe and loving environment where he can grow, thrive, and experience the joy of a peaceful childhood.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your kindness and generosity.

NOTE: my cousin Sally Elshawa lives in the USA and she will help me receive the money under her bank account and then do wire transfer for me.
