IN THE NEWS: WGEM Chicago, IL

November 6, 2024 – Quincy, IL

Blessing Hospital was a winner of 100 ROTH ID TAG kits through our 2024 Grand Giveaway and their local news station, WGEM, provided a wonderful story to celebrate their success. 

“Our plan is to, on discharge, see if there’s any children that are of car seat age that we can distribute these tags to, to help identify children in the event of an emergency where the adults of the vehicle are incapacitated and unable to identify the children,” said Kelli Terwelp, a registered nurse with the hospital.

The ROTH ID TAG was created after tragedy struck our own family.

On December 23, 2022, Julie Roth, beloved wife and mother, was traveling with her two small children when they were caught up in a 47+ vehicle pile-up on the Ohio Turnpike. Julie and Edna Rose, the baby she was carrying, did not survive, but her two other children did.

Injured and afraid, Julie’s two toddlers waited many hours to see a familiar face while emergency responders worked to identify them and contact their father, who was at work. Thankfully, Ayla and Rory Roth are alive and well today. They are the true reason for the ROTH ID TAG™ creation.
