CARBONDALE (WSIL) -- We continue highlighting young people in our region who are doing amazing things or just being awesome.
Losing a family member is never easy and for one big sister, she's taken steps to help other families that have felt her pain.
Meet Emily. She created Colton's Angels after her brother Colton died due to a cord accident.
Emily wanted to honor Colton's memory and help families in need.
She has donated to her school's Birth to 3 program to help families in the school district. She wants to get more donations together to donate to Pregnancy Matters and The Woman's Center both in Carbondale.
She is also using Colton's Angels to help spread awareness on Pregnancy and Infant Loss.
