Emily Plaggemeyer

My name is Emily Plaggemeyer. Hudsonville, Michigan is where I call home. I am the wife to an amazing man and the mother of 7 incredible children. One of our children, Emmie, was adopted through WAMM in 2012. I have always LOVED children and did not waste any time beginning a family after getting married. While my children were little, I had the privilege of being able to stay home with them. Once they were all off at school full-time, I went to work in a special education classroom as a paraprofessional. My love for the special needs community grew immensely through this season. I was involved with that for several years and now find myself again as a stay-at-home mom. My husband and I serve our community together through foster care.  Currently, we are caring for an incredible little man with autism.  I am also delighted to be able to serve foster families as meal coordinator of Closet of Hope.

WAMM became a passion of mine after I took a trip to Ghana in 2011 with my husband. The community, children and needs within and without the ministry fueled something in me that I can’t seem to let go of. My heart beats all things WAMM. Shortly after that trip, I was invited to join the board and a few years ago I took on the role of Chairman of the Board. It is an incredible honor to be able to serve the WAMM community in this way. Sponsorship Coordinator is another role I claim to fill. I desire to serve this ministry in any way that I can and trust that that desire will not go away anytime soon. I long to see more vulnerable children shown the love of Jesus and He continues to do that through this ministry.  I couldn’t be more delighted to be a small part of that.     

"and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday." Isaiah 58:10
