He has a passion for reading and a budding interest in Nintendo games.
Meet Emerson!

Due to a recent hospitalization for Necrotizing Fasciitis, she uses a wheelchair to travel long distances. Emerson finds joy in outdoor activities like swinging, climbing, and sliding, and is comforted by dark spaces and colors.
