About Us
Our Reason
Founded in August 2023, the Emersynn Isla Shining Star Foundation was inspired by Emersynn, our little shining star, who brought joy and light to everyone around her. We are dedicated to making a positive impact supporting children and their families. Through our work, we honor Emersynn's memory by spreading light and love. We believe that every child deserves to shine like the star they are!
A Letter from Emersynn's Mommy & Daddy
As fellow parents who have walked a similar path, we want to reach out to you with compassion and understanding. We know that receiving a life-limiting diagnosis for your child can be overwhelming and isolating, filled with a range of emotions that can be difficult to navigate.
First and foremost, please know that you are not alone. The journey you are on is shared by many of us, and while each family’s experience is unique, the feelings of uncertainty, fear, and hope are universal. Having a child with a life-limiting condition brings unique difficulties, from managing medical care to balancing moments of joy and sorrow. Cherish the moments, celebrate the wins, and hold onto the love that binds your family together. Your dedication is truly remarkable, and your child is fortunate to have you as their advocate and caregiver.
If there’s anything specific you need, whether it's support, additional resources, or just someone to talk to, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are here for you.
With heartfelt support,
Jennifer & Nicholas Kaintz
