Emily Smith is an incredibly smart, hardworking student at UCO who is always willing to help others. Her determination and kindness have made a big impact on everyone who knows her, and she’s the kind of friend and classmate people can always count on.

Recently, Emily lost both of her parents unexpectedly. Her mom was her greatest supporter, always believing in her and helping her in every way she could. Losing her parents has left Emily with a deep sense of loss and uncertainty, and she’s now facing the world with her two older brothers, trying to continue her education and daily life without the support she relied on so much.

This fundraiser is to help Emily continue her education and maintain some stability while she grieves and rebuilds. The funds raised will go directly toward her tuition, car payments, and living expenses, so she can focus on healing and her studies. If you’re able to help, your support will mean more than words can express. Emily is doing her best to keep going, and every bit of kindness will help her find hope and healing. Thank you for caring about her story and for considering a donation or sharing this fundraiser.
