From Struggle to Strength
Our Story
When our family entered the DCS system, we didn't know our rights as parents. We trusted the process but quickly realized how easily families can be separated when they don't have the right information, support or resources.
We faced false accusations, unfair testing, and decisions that tore our family apart. At our lowest point, we had nothing - No home, no car, and no clear path forward. But step by step, we found resources that helped us individually. What we discovered, though, was heartbreaking: while there were programs to help us separately, there were very few designed to strengthen us together as a family unit.
Through resilience, faith, and determination we rebuilt from the ground up - securing housing, work, counseling, and support systems. Along the way, we met other parents who were facing the same battles we had fought, and we knew something had to change.
Thats why we created EmmasFight.org: to raise awareness about parental rights, hold systems accountable, and make sure no parent feels as alone as we once did.
Our history is our "Why". Our fight is for every family who deserves the chance to stay together.
