One sister’s love became a way to help siblings everywhere.

Lock In Hope began with Emma and Chase—and with Emma’s understanding that cancer changes the sibling’s story, too.

Beside him through every chapter

Emma knows what it means to be the sibling of a child with cancer. As Chase faced cancer and treatment four times, she experienced the worry, changes, hospital days and uncertainty alongside him.

She was his sister through the hardest moments—comforting him, making him smile and learning much too young how illness can reshape an entire family.

Love turned into action

Emma wanted other siblings to receive something chosen especially for them—a reminder that their feelings, courage and place in the family matter.

That idea became Lock Boxes of Love: thoughtfully curated gifts built around each sibling’s age, personality and favorite things.

Courage through treatment—again and again.

Chase has faced cancer and treatment four times. These recent photographs are part of the chapter that followed the original video below. They honor what he has endured while keeping the focus on the person he is—not only the illness he has faced.
