About Emerson's family

Hope for the Holidays

What an inspiring family. It is rare to see teenagers so close to their parent, but these three kids love their mother and enjoy spending time with her. This hardworking CNA unfortunately broke her leg while moving her family into their new home and is now unable to work. While the kids are understanding of mom's situation, she is hopeful to give them a surprise on Christmas morning.
