My name is Yolanda Titchenal and I’ve been friends with Tonya Shepard for many years. We went to Durant High School together and we raised our boys together.

As most of you know, Steve Shepard had a serious motorcycle accident on Friday, April 18th. He’s got several serious injuries and a long road ahead. They’ve already done a 4 1/2 hour surgery to repair his collarbone. 5-6 plates were used to stabilize his ribs. The doctor said his chest was pulverized from the accident. We still don’t know the extent of his brain injury and he’s now on day 5 and still intubated.

Steve is the sole provider and I know that we all want Tonya to be able to focus on Steve’s recovery and not be stressed with financial issues. Any amount that you feel led to contribute would be greatly appreciated. This family is a firm believer in the power of prayer. Tonya has told me that she feels your prayers and is so grateful for all of the overwhelming amount of love and support.
