Prayers to Emily Roth, her family, friends and classmates.

Emily Virginia Roth is the strongest person I know. If you have the blessing of knowing Emily personally, you know that she is an incredibly intelligent individual who shows fortitude and composure with everything she does. Unfortunately, she now needs our help. On Saturday, June 20th at around 10:00 AM, a pressurized can of cooking spray exploded into flames at her local place of employment. Emily was nearest to the flames, and thus took the full force of the explosion. She is now left with third degree burns on her face, hands, and leg, affecting more than 20% of her body. Emily is being cared for at St. Barnabas Medical Center’s Burn Unit in Livingston, New Jersey. She is 18 years old, and would have participated in her graduation ceremony on Tuesday, June 23rd with not only her graduating class but also the National Honors Society within Morris Knolls High School. Emily wishes to study engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York and was incredibly excited to receive her acceptance into their 2019 graduating class. To help ease the burden, Emily’s friends have decided to start a fund to help collect all they can to give to the Roth family. The funds will go directly to her mother, father, 13 year old sister, and autistic 7 year old brother. All donations will be used towards the impending medical bills the family faces, as well as any rehabilitative or future therapies Emily and her family may need. Please be as generous as you can. Emily is a fighter who we are all incredibly proud of, and your thoughts and prayers are essential during this trying time.
