Support Kendall Shoemaker's Road to Recovery

In early 2025, Kendall Shoemaker began to experience abdominal pain initially thought to be due to gallstones. An ERCP procedure was performed to check for and remove any stones, but none were found. However, the procedure carries a small risk (1-2%) of causing pancreatitis, which Kendall developed. The gallbladder was removed, but two weeks later, the pain returned, and he was hospitalized with a pancreatic pseudocyst. In six weeks, a follow-up scan will determine if the cyst is still present. If it remains, another surgery may be needed to place a stent and drain the cyst. As you can imagine, the road to recovery will be demanding.

For those who know Kendall Shoemaker, you know how big his country heart is. Kendall’s family means more to him than anything in the world. As the primary income earner, his top priority has always been to take care of his two children under the age of three and beautiful and supportive wife, Erica. We know God is on his side. However, he needs 479 (backup) while he is in and out of the hospital and unable to work during this time. Your donations will help cover the costs of bills, groceries, and family care. This would alleviate a significant amount of stress from the Shoemakers’ shoulders.
