Receive Text UpdatesEmilia is a bright light with a joyful spirit and curious mind. She lights up around others—greeting everyone by name and flashing the biggest smile. She’s clever, full of giggles, and has a silly streak that keeps everyone laughing. She climbs, runs, jumps, and cheers for more—brave and beaming all the way. With a huge heart and fearless spark, Emilia brings the fun—and the love—to every moment.
What are Emilia's favorite activities?Emilia loves bubbles—chasing them, popping them, and asking for “more!” She’s always up for a dance party or an adventure with new people and animals. She flies high on swings, jumps into the pool with a splash, and does tricks at gymnastics while cheering for her friends. She plays hide & seek, “cooks,” and rides in her “beep beep.” If there’s movement or imagination involved, it’s her favorite kind of day.
How would $25,000 impact your family?$25,000 would help us continue supporting Emilia’s development—she was a micro-preemie and has worked hard in therapy since day one. She’s now a strong, fearless, joyful little girl who’s always on the go. This gift would ease medical/therapy costs and help us say yes to more of the everyday fun she brings to life.
