Our Story

Let us tell you about a precious little baby and our special prayer for her. Emmalyn Kae Latchford was born premature (no apparent reason, she just decided to make her entrance early) . After a three-day labor she showed her beautiful face to us on July 12, 2009. She started life fighting, being delivered with forceps, having some difficulty breathing, and a low blood sugar count. She was moved into the NIC unit (intensive care for babies) , where she repeatedly endured being stuck with needles to monitor her blood count.

Toss for Emmy-Fundraiser

Posted on August 24, 2010 by Kristen & Elmer Latchford

                  

                     First of all we want to say thanks to all that came and supported Emmy's cause. We also would like to send a special thanks to Blake Castetter for putting the fundraiser together, Connie Watkins for all the help she gave and Grand Sands for letting us use their facility.

                     Toss for Emmy was by-far the most fun out of all the fundraisers we have had, everyone that came and participated in the corn-hole tournament had a chance to meet with Emmy,learn of her condition and had a great time playing corn-hole. Everyone that came had a chance to win merchandise that was raffled like: Chick-fil-a baskets, movie tickets, Reds tickets, Bengals tickets, corn hole boards etc. Everyone that came was more than generous, people kept buying more and more tickets for the raffles which led us to raise a total of $2,416.00.

                   As parents with a child that has "ONH" we have been very blessed with all the support and love that our friends and family have shown and givin. Emmalyn is thirteen months old now and is very healthy! As of now "Emmy's Prayer for Sight" is at $19,416.00, we still have along way to go to get to our goal in getting Emmy to China which is a min of 35k. Again we want to say thanks to all that came and supported Emmy at the "Toss for Emmy" corn-hole tournament. Please continue to spread the word about Emmy and her story...Thank You :)
