Great news!!! We are literally floored. After 48 hours of frantically searching for a private jet to fly out to Seattle, sharing our plight with nearly 25,000 people, hundreds of which were sharing with their contacts and hunting down leads, we have a flight! A very generous wonderful man has offered to fly us all back in his private jet as he returns to the west coast from New York City tomorrow night. We are overjoyed and extremely humbled by the outpouring of support, and the way you all mobilized so quickly to help Idan. He is quite a special boy and you all played a part in helping to save his life this week. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Idan needs your help flying to Seattle
Looking for a Private Jet to fly out to Seattle Having exhausted all other options, we are turning to you for help!
Idan needs your help getting to Seattle! Anyone have access to a private jet or know anyone that does? We were supposed to fly through Corporate Angels to Seattle because of his severe immune deficiency, but that fell through. Our first appointment in Seattle is September 24th (Tuesday). The owner of the Jet would be able to donate the flight through Corporate Angels for a tax deductible.
Commercial flights pose tremendous risk to Idan because of his severe immune deficiency. Between the dense crowds at the airport and sitting on a plane with dozens of strangers, commercial flights are well-known for germs. Idan’s too little to keep a mask on, and even that cannot protect him from all the germs. We’ve looked into all the non-profit options for flying by jet, and they either do not have any flights available in the next few days, or would require us making several pit-stops along the way.
Thanks in advance for your help!
~Amanda, Akiva & Idan
