Aid Kerri's Journey to Recovery and Healing

Dearest friends, family, and community…

On June 14, 2025, at 1:41 p.m., I received the most alarming news that my beautiful and kind 22-year-old pregnant daughter Kerri (MY BABY!) was suffering from a gunshot to her abdomen while at work. She was rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery, with serious injuries to her abdomen, uterus, and colon. We later found out our 20-week-old granddaughter (KARLIE) did not make it through the trauma! As a family, we went from planning a baby shower to being a headline in the local news. I am completely devastated as a father and even more destroyed as a grandfather.

This is an unimaginably difficult time for Kerri and our family. The injuries she has suffered are severe, and her recovery journey will be long, involving physical therapy and emotional healing.

As family and friends, we are coming together to support Kerri in every way we can. We’re asking for your help to ease the heavy burden she now faces. Any amount you’re willing to give—no matter how small—will go directly towards Kerri’s care and recovery.

Thank you for standing with Kerri and her family during this incredibly hard time.
