Devan is a hardworking young adult who graduated high school last year and was planning to join the military. He loves cars, enjoys life, and cherishes time with his friends. Last night, while Devan was working on his car in front of his house, a tragic and senseless act changed everything. Someone pulled up, got out, and shot Devan six times. He is now in the ICU at Fort Walton Beach Hospital, waiting for a bed to open up so he can be transferred to Gainesville, FL for surgery. Three bullets remain inside him, and he is paralyzed with no feeling below his waist. Through every moment, his mother Jessica has been by his side, offering strength and love during this unimaginable ordeal. Devan had two jobs and was always working hard to build a future for himself. This tragedy has turned his world and his family’s world upside down. There will be many changes and challenges ahead as they navigate this new reality. The funds raised will help cover travel expenses, bills, and support Devan and his family through the long healing journey ahead. As Jessica’s best friend and a family friend, I am reaching out to ask for your support. Investigators are working to find out who did this, and the family is seeking justice. Any help you can give—whether it’s a donation or a prayer—will make a real difference in their lives as they face this unimaginable situation. Your kindness and support mean the world to Devan, Jessica, and everyone who loves them.
