Parkland Survivor Emily Burke: ‘We Bring Our Memories’ To Celebrate Friend They Lost | PeopleTV

Emily Burke, a 15-year-old freshman, lost her friend and soccer teammate Alyssa Alhadeff in the massacre, she says in the video above. “She was shot in the hand, her heart and her head,” Burke says. “All of the people that knew Alyssa, we’ve all come together. We’d just tried to spend time, bring our memories of her,” she says. “We’ve made shirts for her. We’re trying to raise money for her family and do this college fund that her family wants us to help with, so if any player gets a scholarship, we can help them get through college.”
