My name is Emmit.

At three years old, I fell into the creek that runs along the property line while playing with my sister. I went without oxygen for three minutes. I was revived but left with cerebral palsy. I have always tried to work as much as I can, but most people don't want to risk me getting hurt because of my disability. I may not do things like everyone else, but I always keep myself busy and maintain a positive attitude. It is difficult for me to have financial stability because of this.

My sister Leah also lives on my family's property with her three children aged 3, 5, and 9. She is a beautiful fiddle player and an amazing mother. She works very hard to keep food on the table, but between being a single parent juggling multiple schedules, it is difficult for her to work a full-time job.

My mom also lives with us, and as she has gotten older, it can be a struggle keeping it all together.

I have my sights set on starting a bee farm as a means to have financial stability.

But my family and I need your help. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and will serve as a means for our day-to-day lives as well as future success.

The house that we grew up in burned down in 2019, which left a dent on our lives that we are still recovering from. Hurricane Helene left more devastation on our land as well.

I have never been one to ask people for things, but I am getting older and my family and I need your assistance.

Thank you, and may your day be filled with love and light.
