Our Mission

We’re here to walk with you in the darkness of a brain cancer diagnosis.

Emily’s Light Foundation provides spiritual encouragement and financial gifts to cover lost income, create joyful experiences, make vacations possible, and support research for a cure.

I truly believe there is always light to be found IN SPITE of the darkness. “Those who seek me will find me” (Jeremiah 29:13). God knows I’m seeking. And He is near.

Why We’re Here.

In 2022, we lost our beautiful friend and daughter, Emily, to an aggressive form of brain cancer. She was full of faith, joy, and love. (Just look at that smile!)

We exist to keep her light shining for others in the darkness of a similar diagnosis.

Help us bless young adults battling brain cancer. 

Nominate someone battling brain cancer.

“At the end of all of this, who has the last word? Not this tumor. Not satan. Jesus Christ has the last word and that word is VICTORY.”
