My name is Ellen Flores. I am a flight attendant based in New York City, and I’m raising funds for my dear friend Aboud Saleh, a 7-month-old baby born amidst the devastation of war in Gaza. I want to share with you today what Aboud and his family are enduring due to the destruction and dire circumstances surrounding them.
“I write to you from the heart of a city in ruins, where every corner tells a story of loss — homes, dreams, even the laughter of children. Yet, despite everything, we keep moving because we know there are hearts far away still beating for us. In Gaza, every day teaches us how to live with half a home, half a meal, and half a life. But we cling to what remains — a mother’s voice, a father’s embrace, and the hope for a better tomorrow.”
Since the war intensified, nothing has been the same for Aboud’s family. His father, once the provider, has been unable to work due to the chaos and injuries sustained during the conflict. Every day, they face harsh realities of shortages, illness, and fear. Aboud suffers from severe malnutrition, and the current conditions make it nearly impossible for him to receive the specialized care and nutrition he desperately needs to survive and grow.
How the donations will be used:
• Life-Saving Nutrition: Purchasing specialized formula and high-calorie food to treat Aboud’s malnutrition.
• Medical Care: Covering the costs of urgent pediatric check-ups and essential medicine.
• Emergency Essentials: Providing the family with clean water, hygiene kits, and basic survival needs.
Transparency and Delivery:
I am committed to ensuring that 100% of these funds reach Aboud’s family to cover the urgent needs listed above. I will be managing the transfer of funds securely to ensure they have immediate access to these life-saving resources. Your generosity is their lifeline.
The war has taken their home and their safety, but it cannot take our collective compassion. Please join me in giving Aboud a chance at a healthy life. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a profound difference.
