In times of unimaginable heartbreak, we can only lean on our faith and one another, coming together to make the road ahead just a little less difficult. The Schaunaman family is facing an unimaginable loss and an incredibly difficult journey ahead. To allow their focus to remain where it matters most—on grieving, healing, and simply being together—we hope to ease some of the financial burden that comes with such an unexpected tragedy.

For those who know the Schaunamans, you know how deeply they are loved by their family, friends, and community. Now is an opportunity to surround them with that same love and support during a time when they need it most. If you are able to contribute, your generosity is deeply appreciated. If you aren't in a position to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser. Keeping the Schaunaman family in your thoughts and prayers is equally meaningful. All funds raised will go directly toward Emerson’s funeral expenses, medical expenses for Travis and Isabella, and other unexpected financial needs the family may face in the days and weeks ahead.

Thank you for surrounding the Schaunaman family with love, compassion, prayer, and support, and for reminding them that they do not walk the difficult days ahead alone.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
