Dear Friends,

As many of you know Donald Shoemake was recently involved in a severe motorcycle accident on U.S. 20 in Middlebury, IN due to an impaired driver. We are incredibly grateful that he is still with us, but he has a very long and difficult road to recovery ahead of him.

He is currently surrounded by the love of his family, and specifically his daughter Sierra! The medical bills and related expenses are already mounting quickly. We want to make sure his focus—and his family's focus—remains entirely on healing and strength, rather than the sudden financial burden of this emergency.

If you are able to donate to help cover his medical care, any amount makes a massive difference. If you cannot contribute financially, please consider keeping him in your prayers and sharing this new link to help us spread the word.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the incredible outpouring of love and support during this incredibly challenging time. We truly couldn't get through this without you.

**Direct Options:** If you prefer to send support directly outside of GoFundMe, you can also send directly to his daughter with Venmo @Sierra-Shoemake-1

Thank You,

Annie Blake
