In truth we have never met another multiple face to face. We are the only system of multiples that we know, but we have read in books and on the internet, all about MPD/DID.

We have looked at it from the sufferer's point of view, and from the therapist's point of view, then compared that to what we have found to be true in our own lives and have come to believe that multiples are very special people.

I believe their will and desire to survive is their most amazing attribute, a will that would astound the greatest of warriors!

Imagine a warrior who could adapt to meet any foe by creating from within another warrior who was especially enabled to fight or stall off that one particular foe, and as another foe comes to slay this warrior, that warrior disappears and another replaces him/her, and so on and so on, until one day . . . the war is over, there are no more foes attacking, only the most realistic, most lifelike reenactments one could imagine, so real the warriors from within come out to do battle once more and in between these reenactments they seek what? They seek someone to give all of their love and loyalty to, while at the same time they are terrified of loving, of giving or receiving because some of their foes were people who were supposed to love them, supposed to be trustable, but they were not, they were traitors.

This love they have to give, this loyalty they have to pledge to others, makes them try to do all they can to help others. They want to give now what they could not before, not without being hurt. That is what makes it so hard to give now, the fear of being hurt again. I fully believe that multiplicity is the personification of the timeless struggle between good and evil. It is a lifelong struggle for those who live in multiplicity.

KeepersKorner was established to help us pull ourselves out of financial ruin, which has been our state of existence for many years. Basically keepers had become recluses who dealt with the world outside our home as little as humanly possible. The only expression of who and what we are is in our artwork and poetry. We are hoping that people will find value in our works and in some cases, purchase them, to have and to hold for what it expresses to them and their inner child perhaps.

After we achieve some sort of financial stability for ourselves we plan on establishing the Emily Ann Foundation, with a purpose and mission to specifically aid other multiples with their financial needs, both personally and therapeutically. We believe that multiples greatly deserve such assistance.

We are beginning the process to register the Emily Ann Foundation with the state of Missouri and we will then proceed to whatever Federal level is necessary. A portion of all proceeds from any sales at KeepersKorner will be donated to the Emily Ann Foundation.

Watch for a website for the Emily Ann Foundation, chronicling its goals and fundraisers, where donations will also be accepted for the foundations work, to help other multiples. Since we are novices at this if you or anyone you know has any experience or expertise in registering or administering a philanthropic organization such as this, please feel free to email us so that we can get it up and functioning as soon as possible. Hopefully we can attract some celebrity backing to help in the fundraising efforts of the Emily Ann Foundation.

Until the Emily Ann website is open please feel free to wander through KeepersKorner, visit the art and poetry sections, and if by chance you find something that touches you, please feel free to purchase it, thereby supporting our efforts to help those who live in multiplicity.
