My baby is a true gift from God — a tiny miracle who proved doctors wrong. With a smile that melts hearts, sparkling eyes full of wonder, and a spirit full of mischief, she lights up every room (and occasionally causes a little chaos). She’s strong, smart, funny, beautiful, and charming — a little angel wrapped in giggles, sprinkled with stardust, and overflowing with love.
What are Shelby's favorite activities?Baths, bottles, and bubbles are her holy trinity—she soaks happily in the tub like royalty while listening to Sam Smith. Her unique creativity shines when she plays the piano with her toes—take that, Mozart! With an old soul in a tiny body, she finds magic in viewing the sky, trees, & every curious passerby, whether cruising in her stroller or being carried like the queen she is. She loves chatting up a storm, snuggling like a pro, and tummy time.
How would $25,000 impact your family?In 2016, my father started Hope for the Middle East Foundation, inspired by his dream to be a light in others’ lives. Due to his health battles, it paused. He passed 3 weeks before she was born. Now, to honor his legacy, my family is donating $20,000 to relaunch it. The remaining $5,000 will go into a trust for me, so one day I can grow into the person he wanted me to be, carry his vision forward, and continue the impact he dreamed of.
