HER TRUE CALLING: To spread happiness

EMMARIE HELLER WANTS EVERYONE FELINE GOOD. An avid cat lover, Emmarie has been fostering and taking care of kittens for a very long time. “I like to foster because I like to snuggle with cats,” Emmarie said. Cuddling with cats is her specialty, just ask her best pal Whiskers (pictured). Thanks to Emmarie’s patience and kindness, dozens of cats have been well taken care of before going to their forever homes. But it isn’t just felines that Emmarie likes to show kindness towards. When Emmarie’s grandpa was in the Chippewa Valley Veterans Nursing Home, she would bring the residents personalized valentine presents. After her grandfather passed away, she still wanted to go back and visit the other residents because it made them happy and because she said she considers them all to be friends of hers. Emmarie also likes to volunteer whenever she can like at the Eau Claire Clean Up, the Chippewa Valley Theater Guild, and donating backpacks to kids that need them. She likes to spread joy however she can which is why she will often bring her neighbors flowers
