Stephen Duncan has been my best friend since grade school. He’s the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back and never asks for anything in return. As a single father, Stephen has always put his son first, working hard to provide and always going out of his way to help others.

On Tuesday night, Stephen’s 16-year-old son was t-boned by a semi truck and is now in critical condition. The accident has turned their world upside down, and Stephen is facing the unimaginable challenge of supporting his son through a long and uncertain recovery. He will need to travel frequently from Brookfield, MO to Columbia, MO to be by his son’s side, and he’s likely to miss several weeks, if not months, of work during this time.

If you’re able to help in any way, it would mean so much to Stephen and his family. Every bit of support—whether it’s a donation or sharing this fundraiser—will help them get through this incredibly tough time. Thank you for keeping Stephen and his son in your thoughts and for any help you can give.
