About my Business:

Jesica's Hope Chest, Inc. (a foundation for critically ill children) helps families with critically ill children bridge the gap in income they experience as their child receives treatment. Even for families with two working parents and insurance, many costs associated to catastrophic illness are not covered by any other means--especially when many of these children must travel far from home for treatment; our goals are to maintain a child's access to treatment as well as make sure that they still have the comfort of their home to return to once treatment has finished. This helps maintain the sense of normalcy as much as possible during this difficult time. Some of the most common costs Jesica's Hope Chest will help fund are transportation costs to and from the child's treatment facility, rent, electric or other household bills, and specialized equipment not covered by insurance.

About Me:

My name is Emily, and I'm the director of Jesica's Hope Chest, Inc. (a foundation for critically ill children)--a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization based in Louisburg. When I'm not organizing fundraising events, speaking to groups about the importance of being generous/how they can help and make a difference, writing grants, processing incoming children's grant applications, etc. etc., I'm playing with my basset hounds, reading, traveling, or at a turkey shoot. :o) I also love to edit/revise anything I can get my hands on (I have a master's degree in Professional Writing & Editing), and teach others to learn how to love improving their writing.

My Ideal Referral Partner is:

A local business looking to partner up for a fundraiser--not only will this include lots of visibility/advertising for the business, all donations are tax deductible and will help critically ill children!
