This past February the Vail Valley Charitable Fund reached out to Emmy and her family to see how they were doing.
"...we are in the process of launching our very own non-profit that will be known as Emmy's Friends. Living deep in the world of treatment the last few years and having been on the receiving end of so much help and support, we look at it as our duty to give back, as soon as possible."

"How about some Good News today? Check out this truly JOYFUL grant recipient update.
'It has been 10 months since Emmy's last treatment session at Children's Hospital, and she has just received another set of clear scans! Our little ladybug's hair is growing like crazy, her energy levels are high and every day that passes since treatment is absolutely the best day. All of our spirits are through the roof getting to watch her be a regular little girl who just turned 3 years old! In other news, we are in the process of launching our very own non-profit that will be known as Emmy's Friends. Living deep in the world of treatment the last few years and having been on the receiving end of so much help and support, we look at it as our duty to give back, as soon as possible. Emmy's Friends is being designed to help young patients and their families who are facing life-threatening illnesses, receive better access to fresh and wholesome organic foods, nutritional guidance and bountiful resources for healthy living; all of the essential parts of both a thriving existence and battling sickness that are often grossly overlooked. Bridging the gap towards a healthier everyone through the best nutrition possible. We look forward to sharing more about our initiative soon. Thank you again for all of your support. We wouldn't be here today if not the love and support of our amazing community. Much Love - The Welle Family'
