Hi, I’m Emma’s mom.

Over the past couple of weeks, my daughter has been facing an unexpected health setback that has kept her from being able to work. To respect her privacy, I won’t share details, but I can say she’s doing everything she can to focus on healing. My hope is to ease some of the financial pressure so she can prioritize her health without the added stress of falling behind on her bills.

Emma is an independent piercer, which means she relies entirely on being physically able to work in order to earn her income. Missing two weeks has created a real strain, and as her mom, I want to support her in any way I can.

If you know Emma, you know she is always full of love — for her family, her friends, her cats, and even her customers. She’s the first to show up for the people she cares about and is endlessly generous with her time, her energy, and her heart. She has always been someone who gives without hesitation, and now she’s the one who could use a little help.

If you feel moved to contribute, in any amount, it would mean so much to both of us. Thank you for taking the time to read her story and for showing kindness during a difficult moment

With love and gratitude,

Kathleen
