Our family is asking for your love, prayers, and support for my sweet niece, Emma. Just weeks before her second birthday, our lives changed forever when Emma was diagnosed with T-cell Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. What should have been a season of birthday celebrations and making memories has instead become filled with hospital visits, tests, and the beginning of a fight that no child should ever have to face.

Emma is a bright, loving, and happy little girl who has already shown incredible strength. While she may not fully understand what is happening, she continues to face each day with a smile that inspires everyone around her. Emma is also a little sister to her two amazing big sisters, Addison and Charlotte, who are also navigating this incredibly difficult time in their own way. As a family, they are doing their best to adjust and support Emma through her treatment.

As my brother and his family focus on being by Emma’s side through treatments, they are also facing the overwhelming financial burden that comes with a childhood cancer diagnosis. Medical expenses, travel to and from treatment, meals, lodging, time away from work, and many unexpected costs add up quickly. We are asking for help to ease that burden so they can focus on what matters most—being present for Emma as she goes through treatment and healing. Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward supporting Emma and her family during this time. If you are unable to donate, we completely understand. Sharing Emma’s story and keeping her - Taylor, James, Addison and Charlotte in your thoughts and prayers means just as much. Thank you for surrounding Emma and her family with love, hope, and support as our brave little girl begins this fight. Every act of kindness means more than words can express.
