Hi! We are Rachel Wilkerson and Tracy Howard, and were coming to you on behalf of our best friend and Sister, Emily Cole. Most of you know Emily as the tough as nails paramedic, the Disney planner and the person who ALWAYS shows up for you or your family. What a lot don't know is that Emily has spent a lifetime battling and overcoming struggles with Crohn's disease. She has powered through for so long and has never let her illness defeat her. Unfortunately, there have been some recent medical issues that have changed all of this. Emily has been in the hospital with some health concerns and will be undergoing some corrective measures in the very near future to help her.

Emily has dedicated her entire adulthood to being a County Paramedic, but with her recent health issues, has exhausted her sick leave. As Emily continues to remain in the hospital and then recovers and heals, she has been forced to be on leave without pay. As a wife and Mom, this is terrifying.

If you're reading this, I bet Emily has somehow touched your life. Now is our time to help ease some financial burden while they get through this incredibly tough time. No amount is too small and is very much appreciated.
