Emily was born and raised in Regina, surrounded by her extended family and the place she calls home. Her own family began in 2008, with the birth of her first son, and has since grown to five children, each one bringing laughter, kindness, and boundless energy into her life. As a single mother fleeing domestic violence, Emily has faced unimaginable challenges, but she is finally beginning to feel safe and secure for herself and her children. Christmas is especially difficult due to financial constraints, yet she dreams of giving her kids even a small sense of magic during the holidays. Her children are funny, kind-hearted, and athletic, with her youngest daughter being especially close to her—a true mama’s girl. Emily’s love and devotion guide her every day, as she works tirelessly to create stability, joy, and hope for her family. Any support this season would not just bring gifts, but a reminder that they are seen, cared for, and not alone.
