About Emalyn

Emalyn recently turned 16 years old. She has a sharp wit, a wide smile, a lively spirit, and the kindest of hearts. She should be out driving around with her friends and talking about boys, but now that same innocent heart is under attack. She felt ill for a couple of weeks, just couldn't shake it, got worse rather than better, and after a few quick tests at the ER she was immediately flown to Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis. In a matter of hours, our entire worlds were upended.

There's an inoperable cancerous mass surrounding her heart. She's had surgeries to help drain it, and emergency radiation sessions to try to keep the main vessels flowing, but initial tests can't even determine the type of cancer or a more suitable course of treatment. Doctors around the country are weighing in, the Mayo Clinic is running more conclusive tests, her mom Kaity hasn't left her bedside, Nathan is running himself ragged driving two hours each way almost daily just to try to keep the rest of their family and lives somewhat intact, and all of us around them are praying as if our very own lives depend on it. Please help us in that endeavor, as no one has ever been prayed for too much!

Emy and her family are in for a fight, and they need your help to wage it! No one should ever have to go through this in the first place, and they certainly shouldn't have to spend their last dime and ruin their credit and go into mountains of debt in the process. Sometimes it takes a village, and this is one of those times, so I'm hoping that you can please donate whatever you can to help them through. Every little bit helps! They're losing wages, spending considerably more on food and gas and car maintenance and occasional lodging for Emy's siblings to visit her, and they still have all of their regular bills stacking up back home. I know I wouldn't last long that way. Please help!

I feel lead to help in a way that I can so I'm selling Mustard Seed Key Chains, Necklaces, and Bracelets to give the proceeds to this young lady's family to help them during this absolutely heartbreaking time.
