Hope for Zakaria: A Fight for Life

A Child Suffering in Silence… In Desperate Need of a Savior

 Imagine an 11-year-old child who wakes up and goes to bed every day, battling a pain too immense to describe. This child, *Zakaria Yehya Zakaria Al-Dahshan*, lost his father in the war on Gaza, leaving him alone to face a world filled with loss and heartbreak. But as if this wasn’t enough, Zakaria is now facing an even greater battle a deadly disease that is ravaging his small body: a massive lymphoma in his abdomen, a form of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. 

 This disease has stolen from Zakaria the simplest joys of childhood – he can no longer play, eat, or even smile without pain. Recent medical reports confirm the urgent need for advanced treatment, but in Gaza, where medical resources are severely limited, this treatment is out of reach. Every day without care brings Zakaria closer to a fate no child should face. 

 Zakaria lives in unbearable conditions. He suffers from malnutrition and lacks access to basic necessities, which makes his struggle against this disease even harder. The emotional toll of losing his father and his deteriorating health have left him both physically and mentally drained. He’s just a child, yet he bears the weight of unimaginable suffering and is in desperate need of a chance at life. A medical referral has been secured, and Zakaria has been approved for treatment abroad. But the only obstacle now is financial support. Without it, Zakaria cannot leave Gaza to access the life-saving treatment he so desperately needs. **We appeal to your compassionate hearts – please donate today to help save Zakaria’s life. 

Give him the chance to live, to be a child again, free from pain and fear.

Attached below are all the medical reports that clearly demonstrate Zakaria’s critical condition and his urgent need for treatment outside of Gaza.
