On Friday night, our world was changed forever.

Travis Forshee—a devoted father, brother, uncle, cousin, and deeply loved member of our community—was shot by a complete stranger while leaving a bar with a friend. Travis was not the intended target and had no affiliation with the individuals involved. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, the victim of a senseless act of violence.

Travis is currently fighting for his life in the ICU. He has already undergone multiple intensive surgeries, and doctors expect that many more may be necessary. His injuries are critical and the road to recovery is long and full of terrifying complications. Best-case scenario, Travis will remain hospitalized for weeks, followed by months of intensive at-home treatment and rehabilitation. It is also likely that he will require some level of lifelong care that will significantly alter his quality of life.

His family is staying by his side 24/7 to support him through this unimaginable journey.

Because of this tragedy, Travis is no longer able to work, and the financial burden is quickly becoming overwhelming. Survival and ICU Medical bills, housing costs, and everyday expenses continue to pile up while his sole focus—and ours needs to be on his survival and recovery.

We are humbly asking for:

• Prayers and positive thoughts as Travis continues to fight

• Donations of any size to help cover the extensive medical expenses, housing costs, and essential bills during this long recovery

Every contribution, share, and prayer truly matters. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page to help us reach others who may be able to support Travis and his family.

Thank you for standing with Travis during the hardest fight of his life. Your love, generosity, and compassion mean more than words can express.
