We wish we were sharing better news. Unfortunately, Yael’s treatment has not been working as well as everyone had hoped, and her medical team is now looking toward a specialized treatment option in Seattle that could potentially be life-saving. As parents, hearing this is heartbreaking, but we are holding tightly onto hope and doing everything possible to give Yael every chance to fight.

Because of her fragile condition, Yael is not well enough to travel on a commercial flight. Her doctors have advised that she will need private or medical transportation to safely get her to Seattle for treatment. We are now hoping to raise funds to help make this urgent journey possible.

In addition to the cost of private medical travel, this next chapter brings an overwhelming financial burden for the family. Traveling to another city for treatment means expenses far beyond medical care itself — extended hotel stays, transportation, daily necessities, and the countless unexpected costs that come with living beside a hospital for an unknown amount of time. The last thing any parent should have to worry about while fighting for their child’s life is how they will afford to be there.

The weight of watching your child fight for their life is unimaginable, and on top of the emotional burden comes the financial strain of ongoing medical expenses, lost income, and now emergency travel needs. Every donation, share, and prayer means more than words can express. Your support helps bring Yael one step closer to the care that could save her life and allows her family to focus entirely on being by her side through this fight.

Thank you for continuing to stand with Yael and surround her with love, strength, and hope.
