Hello! My name is Emilia. At a young age I was blessed to give birth to the most handsome and perfect boy. As a single mother, Elias was my everything. Sadly he wasn’t here for very long. After only two months, Elias passed away from SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).

Like many other strong women, I was left with little to no answers. My goal is to help find an answer. Saint Jude’s has done immeasurable work in many different medical fields through their extensive research— research that couldn’t be possible without funding.

My ask is simple: help keep the research alive. Help us find answers— even if the answers we're given are hard. Help us make a better life for the next generation of children.
