  • Who We Are, What We Do

    Emily’s Hopeful Holiday was created in honor of our daughter Emily, who was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 7 in 2007. She was treated at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio and is now a CANCER SURVIVOR.

    During our painful journey we discovered that there were many families who struggle with the staggering cost of cancer treatments.
    This motivated us to start raising money for families who did not have the financial resources to deal with a cancer diagnosis.

    In 2007, we established Emily's Hopeful Holiday where 100% of the money we raise goes directly to families to financially assist them with anything they need.

    For more information on EHH, please review this blog and the FAQ's at the top.

    We no longer have an annual fundariser, but are fortunate to still receive donations yearly. At our family's discretion and with the cooperation and agreement of our personal donors, we now distribute the money outside of the hospital. We offer financial assistance to families with a child or young adult with cancer.

    Please use the CONTACT ME button to email me if you would like more information.

    To donate, use the PAYPAL DONATION button on the right side bar to make a donation or contact me.

    This fund assists families throughout the entire year.

    We will always remember the fear and heartache of chemo treatments, lumbar punctures, sedations, medical procedures, surgeries, and anxiously waiting on every test result. Our nerve wracking, yet relatively simple routine trips to the Ireland Cancer Center for Emily’s check-ups remind us of where we have been and that there are families, children, and young adults just beginning this journey, continuing to endure this journey, and/or ending this journey with either an immense gratefulness or an unspeakable sadness.

    We are so grateful for Emily’s amazing prognosis, for her health, for her laughter, for her smile, for her silliness, for her. We thank God everyday for His blessing upon our family and for all the wonderful people who surround our lives with love and support.

2009 Fundraising Efforts Begin – WE NEED YOUR HELP

Posted by emilyshopefulholiday on June 23, 2009


If you would you like to donate to the 2009 Emily’s Hopeful Holiday Fundraiser, please email me using the CONTACT ME area on this blog.

This year, in addition to my EHH Open House on November 7, 2009, I am having a Basket Raffle via Cyberspace/US Mail Fundraiser.  Items being raffled will be posted on this blog from October 24, 2009 – November 6, 2009.  Drawing will be held on November 7, 2009 at the EHH Open House.

This basket raffle is the same thing I did last year,however, everything will also be available ONLINE and through the mail or by attending our Open House on November 7, 2009.

I am in need of many items to be donated by both businesses and individuals.  Items I am looking for:  themed baskets, gift cards – restaurants, retail, spa, etc., individual items to add to baskets, tickets to entertainment venues, and of course, good old fashion money!

100% of the profits from my fund raisers goes directly to the family’s at Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital.

Please share this information with your friends, families, co-workers, employers, etc. and see if they would be interested in helping out the families at Rainbow!

As always, we thank everyone for their generosity to EHH.  We have been very blessed in the past with such wonderful donations.

Being a mother of a child who is now a cancer survivor, it’s not only the money these families receive that helps them through their journey, but the thought that someone cares about them during their child’s illness and their family crisis.  Our family was beyond blessed by so many people while Emily endured her treatments.  We know how it felt when others cared for us.  We want them to feel the same…
