From Gaza to Hope: Zakaria's Journey for Survival

In the heart of Gaza, amidst the relentless thunder of airstrikes and the haunting echoes of devastation, there lies a tale of resilience, of a father's unwavering love, and a family's desperate plea for survival.

Meet Zakaria, a man whose existence embodies the strength of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. He is not just a name, but a symbol of hope for his family and his beloved homeland, Palestine.

For Zakaria, life in Gaza has been a relentless battle against the shadows of war. Since 2002, he has borne witness to the harrowing cycle of violence that has plagued his homeland. Yet, amidst the chaos and despair, Zakaria remains steadfast in his commitment to his family – a loving father, a devoted husband, and a loyal friend.

The year 2023 brought with it yet another wave of destruction as Gaza once again found itself engulfed in the flames of conflict. In the merciless onslaught of the 2023-2024 war on Gaza, Zakaria's world was shattered. He lost friends, his home was reduced to rubble, and he was left wounded, both physically and emotionally.

Seeking refuge amidst the chaos, Zakaria and his family found shelter in the home of his uncle. But even there, they were not spared from the ravages of war. With each passing day, the threat of violence loomed larger, casting a shadow of fear over their already fragile existence.

Driven by an unyielding determination to protect his loved ones, Zakaria embarked on a journey fraught with peril. With the help of kind-hearted friends, he managed to secure passage to Egypt, seeking sanctuary from the relentless onslaught that had engulfed his homeland.

But Zakaria's journey is far from over. While he may have found temporary respite in Egypt, his thoughts are consumed by the plight of his family back in Gaza. They remain trapped in a living nightmare, their lives hanging in the balance with each passing moment.

Now, Zakaria stands at a crossroads, torn between the anguish of separation and the desperate need to ensure the safety of his family. He knows that time is running out, that every passing day brings them closer to the brink of despair.

And so, he reaches out to you – to all those who hold the power to make a difference. With a heart heavy with sorrow and a spirit buoyed by hope, Zakaria implores you to join him in his quest to bring his family to safety.

Zakaria'a family consists of 12 members (Parents, 4 brothers, and 3 sisters, as well as brother's wife and daughter). The traveling fees are $5000 per person.

The funds will be used to register for traveling from Gaza to Egypt.

Your support, no matter how small, has the power to change lives, to turn despair into hope, and to light the path to a better future. Together, let us stand in solidarity with Zakaria and his family, for they are not just victims of war, but beacons of resilience in the face of adversity.

Join us in our journey from Gaza to hope, as we strive to build a world where peace and justice reign supreme, and where every family can live free from the shadow of fear.
