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.

Special Thanks

            Finally, I'm able to wright this "Blog"! It's been 20 long months since we got the news of Emmy's diagnosis and 18 months since we started "emmysprayerforsight". We are happy and blessed to say "we made it"! We finally raised all the funds to take Emmy to China! Our goal was to raise $35,000.00 by the summer of 2011 and we succeeded, thanks to all of you who help donate to Emmys cause. Thanks to all our friends and family that still continue to help and support us through this trial.

           Special thanks to our friends Blake Castetter and Connie Watkins for all their hard work in putting together the "Toss for "Emmy" cornhole tournaments and "Did for Emmy" volleyball tournament, thanks a-bunch guys we love you! Special thanks to Mike Cassinari for his "Tri-State Concert Series" musical fundraisers, thanks Mike your awesome! Special thanks to Chris Coplin for his musical talents, thank you!

A very special thanks to Brian Biddle and Lexblog for creating "emmysprayerforsight" blog, thank you and last but not least our Church family at Bethel Baptist Temple for all their unconditional love and support for Emmy, also for letting us use the church for "Eat for Emmy", baking was never more fun! Thanks again Bethel for all your support and care for Emmy, we love you!

           Now we set off to China to get Emmalyn 7 stemcell treatments that will help her gain sight! What a blessing! We have all the faith in God that he will do his works in her and that no matter what the outcome, we know the Lord will provide! Thanks again everyone, we love you all!
