Edna Mae Schreur Emmanuel (continued from page 8) Emma is struggling with complications from brain surgery to remove a tumor. She has developed a rare form of Parkinson’s disease as a result. She is on very expensive medications. This family is struggling financially to keep up with the cost of Emma’s medications and with her numerous physical and speech therapy appointments. The family car, which is vital to transport Emma to her multiple appointments, needs new tires. This Bergen County family would also benefit from some gift cards to Sears Auto Center, STS Tires or Firestone. This family would be very grateful for the community’s help. Adopt-A-Family for the Holidays: ECF provides holiday gifts to the child with cancer and all of his or her siblings through our Wish List program. Help make a child’s holiday wishes come true. Please consider adopting a family this holiday season. You can help in a variety of ways. Turn your next event into a fundraiser by collecting checks or gift cards for ECF, or donate your restaurant or business for a few hours to host a fundraiser of your choice. Your efforts will help us to help families like Mia’s in many ways, including sending a caseworker to visit the families at their home or at the hospital. This support for the kids, their siblings and parents is crucial. Your donations also help to support ECF’s food pantry, which benefits our families. Kids can help us by hosting a Bake Sale, or another creative event. We rely on the local community to help support our families. Many of them do not have the financial or emotional support to help them get through a major illness like cancer. Please remember: We do not charge anything for our services. We rely on you! We are also available to speak at your fundraiser or event and talk about our programs. If you have a few hours a week to spare, consider becoming a volunteer or just stop by and meet with us, take a look at our pantry, and see what ECF is all about. Volunteers are welcome to assist on Monday from 10 to 1, Wednesday from 1 to 5, and all day on Friday. Call us at (201) 612-8118 before you stop by. Please do not leave items at the center without checking with us first. Our storage space is limited. The Northern Regional Center is located at 174 Paterson Avenue, Midland Park, NJ 07432.
