About Emmaline's personality

Our baby is pure joy, always smiling, playful, and filled with the sweetest spirit. As our first child, she made parenthood more beautiful than we ever imagined, teaching us love in its purest form. Her laughter and warmth light up every moment, and it’s hard not to feel a little scared, wondering how a second could ever compare. Deep down, we know this love will only expand, and our hearts will always have room for another.

What are Emmaline's favorite activities?

Our baby starts her mornings dancing to Happy by Pharrell Williams, followed by her favorite breakfast of eggs, rice, and fruit. Food-driven and full of joy, she spends her days playing on her toy piano or listening to book readings from mom or dad. She just started crawling, so baby-proofing is in full swing. Every day brings new challenges, but her laughter and curiosity make the journey unforgettable.

How would $25,000 impact your family?

$25,000 would help our family cover bills and begin saving for Emmaline’s college fund. While we make enough to provide a roof over our heads and food on the table, we don’t have extra to put aside. This gift would be dedicated to Emmaline, giving her the chance to chase any dream she chooses. "To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world.” – Dr. Seuss
