We have a confirmed surgery date!

While time can feel like it stands still inside these hospital walls, the world continues moving outside of them.

We now have an official surgery date confirmed for Emmy: June 5th, 2026.

As we did with Avery, we are partnering with the Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) to assist with Emmy’s journey. Her official COTA page is live: https://cota.org/cotaforemmy/

If you’re able, we’d be so grateful if you could help by donating to COTA for Emmy and/or helping spread the word by sharing this page far and wide.

COTA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides fundraising assistance and family support for children and young adults in need of life-saving transplants. 100% of funds raised in Emmy’s honor go directly towards transplant-related expenses, and all contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.

We are so thankful for all the love as we walk this road. Stay tuned for details on how to become an official member of Emmy’s Hype Squad by getting some sweet Emmy Hype Squad shirts and hoodies benefitting COTA!!
