Emmett is a 10-year-old from Orange City, IA who suffered a pontine stroke 2 weeks ago. Several employees at the Support Center know Emmett and his family through school and church related activities. Our entire organization has been lifting him up in prayer throughout his road to recovery.

Following the daily updates on Facebook from Emmett’s mom, it has become evident that he is full of smiles and optimism – which you will notice from Crystal’s post. It appears that the road to recovery will be difficult and filled with medical expenses, so community members stepped up and organized a Community Impact night at the Orange City Pizza Ranch for the family on Monday, April 15.
