A tremendous help goes along the way for this 68-year-old Grab rider. We're happy to report that Uncle Zakaria no longer needs to work!
The elderly man first caught the public's attention after a TikTok video by creator Hazwan Hafiz went viral.
@hazwanhfiz Kesian pada masa yang sama cemburu dengan semangat pakcik Grabfood ni. Dalam bongkok² dia pun satu KL dia pusing cari rezeki bulan puasa ni.. Moga dipermudah segala urusan beliau. Yang biasa duduk di Mont Kiara & Sri Hartamas mesti biasa jumpa pakcik 'legend' ni. #Grabfood #MontKiara #SriHartamas

Despite Zakaria's apparent age and condition, the man opened up that he actively does Grab deliveries even during Ramadhan- not an off-day in sight.
The video has since received outpouring sympathy from the public, while urging support from those who have the means to assist him.
Thanks to the power of social media, help has finally landed on his feet. Within just 24 hours since the original video went up, Caprice managed to locate Zakaria.
@capricetigerofalquds Alhamdulilah tak sampai 24 jam, we found him dah umur 68 pakcik... its time to rehat.

Apart from the immense donations received, he was also taken to a chiropractor to ease his aching back.
Here's hoping that the coming days are better and brighter for Uncle Zakaria!
