Walking Alongside Emma
From our family to yours, thank you for being here. This is where we share honest, dated updates on Emma’s fundraising with Help Hope Live, plus a few simple ways you can be part of her story.
Emma’s Story
Emma is our bright, determined, joy-filled daughter. She has cerebral palsy and dystonia, which affect how her body moves. Her days are full of therapy and hard work, and just as full of laughter, curiosity and big ideas. She’s also the heart of our Unstoppable Emma coloring and story books, where kids who move or look different get to be the hero of the adventure. We fundraise with Help Hope Live to help with the costs of Emma’s care that insurance doesn’t cover, and we’re so grateful you’re walking this road with us.
Where We Are
- At least $7,775 raised of our $15,000 goal (as of Oct 8, 2026)
This total includes gifts made through Help Hope Live and some gifts friends gave by check outside Help Hope Live. We update these numbers by hand, so they aren’t live totals. Thank you for every gift, big and small.
