3 unusual facts about Ayelet Galena


Ayelet Galena

Ayelet is the granddaughter of Rabbi Reuben Poupko of Montreal, QC and Arna Poupko Fisher of Cincinnati, OH and Rita Lourie-Galena of New York, NY and the late Dr. Harold Galena, after whom she is named after (Ayelet means deer in Hebrew).

The Galena family partnered with Gift of Life Bone Marrow Foundation and DKMS Americas to set up many drives in the hopes of finding Ayelet a perfect bone marrow donor match.

Ayelet's family setup a Tumblr blog when they transported her from Sloan Kettering Hospital to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, where they would do the transplant, to keep their family and friends updated on her progress.
