Help Emma Fight Lymphoma

Donation protected
Dear Friends & Family,

We are reaching out for your help to support Emma and her family during an incredibly challenging time.

Emma was recently diagnosed with lymphoma that is located in her brain. She is being treated by a medical team at UCSF led by a doctor who is world renowned in her specific form of this cancer. Her treatment and road to recovery will be through Fall 2025.

Emma, her partner Eric, and her mom Erin live together in a multigenerational household. Emma is not able to work during her treatment and Erin will be taking leave from her employment for the duration of treatment to care for Emma’s needs full time

We're raising funds to help with living expenses and essentials so they can focus entirely on Emma’s recovery.

Our goal of $20,000 will help cover:
• Medical expenses not fully covered by insurance.
• Ongoing household bills and basic living costs
• Transportation to and from treatments and appointments at UCSF
• Meals, supplies, and daily necessities during Emma’s treatment

How You Can Help
Many of you have already been supporting Emma with your love, prayers, healing thoughts, flowers, and gifts, but have asked what more you can do to help. Your donation — big or small — will ease the financial strain on Erin and Emma during the treatment window .

Please feel free to pass the link to this page directly to others who would like to contribute, but we ask that it not be shared or posted on social media at this time

Emma, Eric, Erin, Cam and the rest of her family appreciate your help and support.
Thank you,

Anne Scholz and Eve Ortiz
