Personal note from Emily

Thank you to all of our family and friends who have given their hearts to make sure mine doesn't stay broken forever. My mom would have thanked you herself, too. Thank you to all of the donors who have given their resources to make sure that her final bill is paid in full.

My heart is yours,
Emily
