Today we remember Emily Yeskoo

“Today we remember Emily Yeskoo, who like so many children we care for, left us all too soon. Emily’s story is intertwined with the creation of Emily’s House. Her courage, joy, faith, persistence and love often gave me strength and encouragement to stay on course, regardless of all the obstacles, to establish Emily’s House. A village of people soon caught the vision to come alongside and see Emily’s House realized to where it is today.  It will always be a special house where children and families are welcomed with open arms and experience a safe place of support, comfort, compassion and friends at a most difficult time in their lives.”
