STORY:: Little Emma was diagnosed with Fanconi anemia at the age of 3. Fanconi anemia is a rare bone marrow disease that leads to many cancers and life threatening health problems. So far Emma has stayed cancer free, but this warrior has been through so much. She has had countless rounds of chemotherapy, bone marrow aspirations, a bone marrow transplant, and very long hospital stays. And her fight still isn’t over. Fanconi anemia doesn’t have a cure yet and is very low on funds for research. She is now 7 years old and making amazing strides every day. She just got back from a wonderful make a wish trip to Disney and is not letting this horrible monster get in her way of just being a kid. Emma is a Fanconi Anemia warrior, and every day I pray that one day she will become a Fanconi anemia survivor.
Emma loves receiving letters! just knowing others care about her will give her a peace of mind right now. Also, please remember she has a very jealous 3 year old brother Dalton, who would love to receive letters too! Dalton often feels left out in the craziness of Emma’s sickness.
