In a moment that changed everything, Dez was shot and seriously injured. What began as an ordinary day turned into a fight for survival and a long road ahead. While Dez is incredibly grateful to still be here, the journey forward is focused on recovery, rebuilding, and finding stability after trauma. The physical healing is only one part of what Dez is facing. Time away from work, ongoing recovery needs, and everyday living expenses have created a heavy financial strain during an already overwhelming time. The impact of this experience has reached every part of her life, and the emotional toll has been immense. Dez has always been someone who brings light to those around her, and watching her face this challenge has been heartbreaking for our family. Our goal is to help her focus on healing both physically and emotionally without the constant stress of how to cover basic expenses while she recovers. No one is ever prepared for something like this. We are asking for support to help Dez through this recovery period and provide stability as she works toward regaining her strength and independence. Any donation, no matter the amount, will help with recovery related expenses and day to day needs. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing her story. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean more than words can express. Thank you for standing with Dez during this difficult time.
