Wannell Bradshaw Fund
The Wannell Bradshaw Benevolence Fund, through the Arkansas EMT Association would like your help.
For many years the AEMTA has had a Benevolence fund for those in need. In the past several years, we have designed a quilt every year to help fund this greatly needed cause. By donation, this quilt has helped raise money to put back into the Benevolence fund.
Within the last years, there have only been a few who have applied for this help. We, the Association want to help more. We currently have over 500 members. With your help, we may be able to help those that have forgotten or didn’t realize we had such a fund. If you or someone you know ever need help, here is the information needed.
The AEMTA Bylaws state the following rules must be met to apply for assistance:
| Section 1. | To be eligible, an individual must be currently certified as an EMT (at any level) in Arkansas. |
| Section 2. | Demonstrated need must be documented by others, not just the individual. Need is defined as catastrophic illness, injury, or death in the family. |
| Section 3. | A maximum amount of $500 shall be awarded to a recipient. Any amount up to this may be approved. |
| Section 4. | An individual shall only be eligible one (1) time. A family shall only be eligible one (1) item for a single need. |
| Section 5. | If questions arise concerning documentation of need, members shall verify the information that has been provided to them. The Board of Directors shall serve as the committee to consider all requests. |
| Section 6. | Copies of all requests/applications and the committee response to each will be kept on file by the organization. Copies of payment to applications will also be kept on file. |
| Section 7. | Recipients will be notified that the organization must make public to the Association members all documentation related to these monies. |
If you need further assistance, please call or e-mail any of the Arkansas EMS Foundation board members. We look forward to helping you.
