Hi everyone. My name is David Shepard. I’m on here to try and get out of my current situation. Let me give you a little back story. I grew up on a dairy farm in upstate New York. I’ve been working since I was big enough to throw a bail of hay. I’ve never been out of work until now. I graduated from hornell high school. Joined the marine corp. After the corp I moved to Florida. I was 22. I came down to live with someone. When I got here I started working in new home construction eventually leading to me getting my state contractors license. I could now pull permits to build. I did that for 20 years. I never built houses just worked on them. I was down here for 8 years before I met my now ex wife. We had 26 great years together and have a wonderful daughter. My wife never had to work the first 16 years of our marriage. I was the soul bread winner. The reason I’m asking for funds, and please believe me I hate doing it, is this. In 2021 I broke my arm at a jobsite. I couldn’t do construction anymore. So I decided to get my class a cdl to drive trucks over the road. Trucking does not make you rich trust me you barely scrape by. If you see a trucker please thank him or her. Anyway on January 24 of this year I was in a truck accident in New York coincidentally and I was lucky I was I’ll explain why in a second. I had a seizure and blacked out and wrecked the truck. I broke my back and my neck. They had to fuse my back together. Because I had a seizure I can’t drive truck anymore. I can’t do construction anymore either. I’ve never really had a “real job”. Farming construction then trucking. Right now I’m disabled. While I was in the hospital my wife calls me and said she filed for divorce. Just imagine laying in that bed in all that pain staring at the ceiling and get that call. Pile more on me. The reason it was a good thing that I had the accident in New York is because I had family there. I stayed at my aunts house for over a month before I could travel again. When it was time to travel I was broke. My cousin was coming to Florida and he said he would buy my ticket. When I got here my ex did at least get my a tent and a bike to get around. I’m living in the woods without a penny to my name. I’m just asking for some help anything you can do would be greatly appreciated. I know I have GOD on my side and I’ll eventually get out of this situation. Right now though is a little rough. No cash, no credit cards. Needless to say it has not been a good 2025. I hope you will find it in your heart to help. I’m not a lazy drunk useless man I’ve just had bad situations happen. Why I don’t know. Oh by the way the troopers said they didn’t think I was alive when they showed up to the accident. Needless to say it’s been a horrible 2025. Please help thankyou. Again I hate asking.
