Emerson-lily Hitchcock Memorial

Donation protected
My niece, 8 year old Reese Hitchcock of Marshfield heartbreakingly asks for the same gift every time Christmas or her birthday comes around....her little sister Emerson back. A brief 3 1/2 years ago on March 1, 2010 tragedy crushed our family with the loss of Reese's sister, my niece and goddaughter, Emerson Lily Hitchcock . A perfectly healthy, vibrant, 2.5 year old, Emerson passed away in her sleep during an afternoon nap from a little known monster, called SUDC, sudden unexplained death in childhood. Reese and Emerson ("Emmie") shared an amazing bond and were truly best friends as well as sisters.
With Reese's 9 th birthday approaching at the end of the month, again Reese has said her only wish is for her sister back.

However, Reese is now older and understands it is not a wish anyone can grant. So this year for her birthday, she made a different request and has asked to please finish the picnic pavilion the family has been trying to raise money to build in Emerson's memory at the playground in Marshfield. She asked if there was something she could do to make it happen.When she saw her mom making a donation on gofundme she came up with the idea to set up a page for Emerson.


Reese is an amazing lttle girl with so much love in her broken heart. Please take a moment and donate even just $1 to show Reese that there is good in the world and that she is capable of doing amazing things for her sister, even now.

Many people have supported us through our nonprofit 501(c)(3) charity called The Emerson Lily Hitchcock Memorial foundation but we still have so far to go. We would like nothing more than to tell Reese on her birthday that we are ready to build as soon as the ground thaws.


Help make the birthday wish we CAN grant come true.


Any and all donations are greatly appreciated and your continued support is touching .


THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH, EMERSON'S FAMILY
