CANTON, Ga. (AP) Family members who planned to raffle a car to help pay for their daughter's medical care say the vehicle has been stolen. <br />
<br />
Plans called for proceeds from the raffle to help pay for care Erin Holt received after a 2013 traffic crash. <br />
<br />
Holt, a former soccer player at Walton High School and Armstrong Atlantic State University, is in a wheelchair with a brace on her arm and leg. <br />
<br />
The Holts say the plan was to raffle a 1987 Nissan 300 ZX, hoping to sell 1,000 raffle tickets at $10 each. Erin's father, Ben Holt, said the $10,000 would have helped to pay for Erin's therapy. <br />
<br />
He said the car was in a warehouse parking lot in Canton when it was stolen. Canton police are searching for it. <br />
