Emerson & Louise
Creating meaningful moments for families who need them.
Because time together isn’t something to take for granted — it’s something to hold onto.
In Honor of Emerson
Emerson was our daughter. She passed away at the age of 7 after a battle with brain cancer.
What we hold onto now aren’t things —
it’s the moments.
The trips.
The laughter.
The quiet in-between memories that became everything.
That’s why Emerson & Louise exists.
And it’s why this foundation matters.
Because for some families, time together isn’t guaranteed —and the memories they create mean more than words can hold.
How the Emerson & Louise
Foundation Supports Families
Through the Emerson & Louise Foundation, we help fund meaningful travel experiences for families who are:
Walking through a child’s illness
Celebrating recovery
Navigating life after loss
Each selected family receives a thoughtfully planned trip designed to create connection, rest, and lasting memories together.
What a Funded Trip May Include
Flights for the family
A stay in a beautiful, family-friendly destination
A professionally arranged itinerary
A family photography session to capture the moments
Thoughtful touches along the way
How Families Are Selected
At this time, applications are not always open.
We open a limited application window once funding is available for a family experience. This allows us to be thoughtful, present, and intentional with every story we receive.
When applications are open
Families may apply directly
Loved ones may submit a nomination
Referrals may be accepted through trusted connections
Every submission gets read. One family is chosen based on their story and where they are right now..
To stay informed of when we are able to sponsor our first family, join our newsletter and we will send out the email to open up for submissions. We can't wait to make this dream a reality.
How This Is Made Possible
This mission is supported through:
A portion of every Emerson & Louise trip booked
Optional client contributions
Future partnerships and donations
When you book with Emerson & Louise, you’re not just planning a trip —you’re helping create one for a family who truly needs it.
Whether you're booking a trip or supporting the mission, you're part of something bigger
