If you know anything at all about Sami Zayn, you know that he’s pro wrestling’s purest good guy, both in and out of the ring. He’s not afraid to publicly wear his heart on his sleeve, and he’s been outspoken about wanting to shatter stereotypes in pro wrestling. And when you want to think about shattering stereotypes, you can probably look to this wonderful ginger Canadian Syrian Muslim.
And now Sami has launched a new fundraiser that is very important to him, in part specifically because of his Syrian heritage. Zayn is partnering with the Syrian American Medical Society Foundation to fund a mobile medical unit in Syria. They are hoping to raise enough money to fund the unit for at least six months. But let’s let Sami tell you about it himself.
And from the website:
Right now, there are 13.5 million people in need of assistance inside Syria. Many of these displaced men, women and children do not have regular access to food, non-food and medical services. Struggling to survive the effects of siege, many of these people remain isolated and suffer the effects of malnutrition and deteriorating health due to the lack of emergency and primary medical services and medications. This is where SAMS steps in and brings medical care to these patients doorsteps in the form of Mobile Medical Units (MMU). By donating to Sami Zayn’s campaign today, you will help to purchase and prepare a vehicle for use as a Mobile Medical Unit. Your donation will also help fund the salaries of medical personnel, a driver, medications, supplies, vehicle fuel and maintenance. Click on Make a Donation (above) and you can help SAMS build a brighter tomorrow.
The Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS) Foundation is a US-based, non-political, non-religious, medical relief organization that provides millions of Syrians with urgent and life-saving medical services. SAMS Foundation is a U.S. registered 501 (c) (3) charity. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

The campaign launched on Wednesday and is already nearly halfway to its goal of raising $48,000. I expect it will blow right past that goal and fund that medical unit for a good long while.

This is such a good cause, and Zayn continues to be the only person in WWE that you always want to root for, both as a character and as a human being. Between Zayn and Titus O’Neil, we’re lucky to be able to see some pro wrestlers be inspirational humanitarians as well. Make this guy the face of your company, WWE. It will absolutely pay off.
