The day after they rescued four seriously injured teenage girls trapped in an overturned burning car, Emily and Michael Lohin started raising money for them.
The Go-Fund-Me page they created has raised nearly $148,0000, so far. The most recent donation was $100 on Monday.
“Never did we think starting a Go-Fund-Me would turn into this,” Emily Lohin said. “We know we live in a strong community, but we did not expect this outpouring.”
Nearly two months after a suspected drunk driver smashed into their car head-on along Bridgetown Pike, the Neshaminy High School juniors continue their recoveries from life-changing injuries.
Meanwhile, the community has kept a spotlight on the girls known collectively as the “Neshaminy 4.”
And the community has not forgotten them as they work their way back.
It has kept a spotlight on the girls known collectively as the “Neshaminy 4.” In the weeks since the March 27 accident, more than a dozen fundraisers have been held with more planned or scheduled.

Nearly $148,000 has been raised so far through a Go-Fund-Me page created the day after the accident by the Northampton Township couple who helped rescue the girls.
“Never did we think starting a Go-Fund-Me would turn into this, said Emily Lohin, who is also planning a summer fundraising event.
