Ubiquitous

Crossing the north/south rail line in Seymour, Indiana, I noticed a headlight. I pulled over and set up for this northbound train, which can be seen with a connector track to the east/west line in town.

The train is on the Louisville & Indiana (former Pennsylvania) with the unseen line being CSX (former Baltimore & Ohio). I was hoping for some spiffy-painted L&I units (which take after the old Pennsy), but instead got yet another dose of the ubiquitous Union Pacific.

"Please, save what remains of us."

With all kindness, put yourself in my family's place—what would you do?

Hello Dear,

I write to you overwhelmed with pain and helplessness 😔. My name is Abdelsalam, and I carry a burden too heavy to bear. My little daughter Amoona 👧 is living in unimaginable conditions. Every day is a battle for survival, where even her most basic rights—safety 🛡️, medicine 💊, and food 🍞—are distant dreams.

Amoona doesn't know the taste of childhood. She is growing up in a world that shows no mercy 💔, and as a father, I feel helpless watching her grow without being able to protect her. You have a voice that reaches millions 🎤, and your influence can be the difference between life and death.

I kindly ask, not just as a father but as a human 🙏, if you could consider offering some financial support, no matter how small, to help us provide the essentials Amoona needs. Your generosity could change our lives and bring hope back to my daughter’s future.

Additionally, I beg you to help spread my campaign. Let my voice reach the world 🌍, let people know what we are going through. All I ask is for a few words from you, but those words, alongside your support, could save Amoona and give her the life she deserves 💫.

Every word, every share, and every bit of help could be a lifeline ⛑️.

With the deepest gratitude,

Abdelsalam
