My dad, Colin Shepherd, recently had to go to the emergency room because of a heart-related issue. Our family was focused entirely on his health and making sure he was okay, and it was a scary and emotional time for all of us. After things settled, we discovered that money was missing from his wallet during his hospital stay. This has been extremely difficult to process—not just because of the financial loss, but because it happened when he was at his most vulnerable. We have filed a police report and contacted the hospital to request an investigation, and we are still waiting for answers.

The money that was taken was meant to cover Colin's bills, and losing it has created unexpected stress on top of everything else as he focuses on his recovery. We are hoping to raise funds to help replace what was lost and take some pressure off during this time. If you feel led to support, any amount truly helps and means more than we can express. Thank you for your kindness and support during this difficult moment for our family.
