Support Kenneth Sheppard's Heart Transplant Journey

It is with a tremendous heartfelt request that we reach out to NCCU Alumni, Brothers of Omega Psi Phi, Divine 9 members, friends, and family to support Kenneth “Shep” Sheppard. He is a member of the NCCU Class of 1983 and a Spring 1983 initiate of the Tau Psi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated.

A native of Hamlet, NC, our former NCCU Football Tackle, #79, Kenneth Sheppard, requires a heart transplant. This medical process is not only lengthy but costly as well. This life-changing event was unexpected and, as you can imagine, saddening.

We do not fully understand what is in store for “Shep” and have not yet been provided with a final cost to include rehabilitation and therapy. With that in mind, we are setting a goal of $25,000. We need your help, please.

As hard as this is, we are reaching out for financial support. If you would like to help, this GoFundMe is the only family-approved account and will go directly to him (no middleman).

We are truly blessed to have family, friends, and Divine 9 brothers and sisters like you to support and pray for our dearest Shep as he navigates through this medical process and faces his new normal.

For those of you who are willing to donate, please know that Kenneth “Shep” Sheppard and the rest of us genuinely appreciate it. Thank you so much.
