Still Standing for Emma

Janet Bailey is organizing this fundraiser.

Donation protected

My name is Janet (Rodgerson) Bailey. I am Emma's mom. Emma was in a terrible car accident in May 2018 and sustained a spinal cord injury.. We are so proud of Emma and how hard she works every single day to gain as much independence as she can.

We are raising money to help Emma purchase a Traverse with the needed modifications to drive as a person with quadriplegia. The vehicle is costly, and we will appreciate any help you can provide. The total cost for the Traverse will be over $90,000. Being able to drive again will give Emma so many new opportunities. She will be able to drive herself to class, go to therapy, and eventually work outside of her home - all on her own! Imagine how that independence will feel to her! Please pray for us as she begins this new step in her overal recovery.

Our community and beyond have supported our family in so many ways over the years. We are forever grateful for that! It's hard to ask for help again, but we will need it to make this a reality.

Donations can be made three ways:

1. Go Fund Me

2. Online through our church website: Englewood Baptist Church.

3. At the State Employees Credit Union (North Carolina). Inform the teller the deposit is to go in the "For Emma" account in the name of Bryan and Janet Bailey.

Thank you so much!!!
