This fund has been created to support the family of a valued Northwest Education Services-Creekside employee. Rachel Sheppard and her family are coping with the unexpected loss of her oldest son, Stephen. Rachel is a strong, dedicated, and loving mother who has worked hard her whole life to take care of others. Now is a time when we can take care of her.

The goal of this fundraising effort is to cover the cost of end-of-life expenses for her son. Any remaining monies will be directed to the continued support of Stephen's surviving toddler son.
