The Lost Sheep

We humbly request your support in helping our Son, Tahee Nayea Sheppard. Anyone who will have it on their heart to help us fundraise to take Tahee Nayea Sheppard home to the Navajo Nation for healing. Tahee is an AMAZING human being who has a life yet to live. Tahee has lost his way and the will to fight for himself. Anyone who has ever struggled with addiction disorder (OUD/SUD) understands in many people, addiction is not the person's fault, it is a disease and a symptom of mental illness from deep trauma. While not everyone understands or agree's addiction is a disease, I humbly invite you to research it more. Of course it depends on the mental health and wellbeing of an individual whether they have the cognitive disability to make healthy decisions or realize their "bottom" believe it or not. Fentanyl is a game changing deadly drug, therefore people with mental illness will have a much more difficult recognizing their "rock bottom". As a recovering addict (for 19 years), I can say I wasn't aware of my bottom until it was nearly too late. I am blessed to be here today! My addiction was alcohol. but now fentanyl is the #1 most deadly destructive drug ever made! We respectfully ask for any donations at all to get Tahee Nayea Sheppard home to Arizona where he will receive critical help on his road to recovery. Any amount goes a long way, towards paying gas, lodging and food as well as his doctoring. Ultimately we believe in doing all we can to help the ones we love, but in the end, we understand it is ALL up to Creator/God. So our gratitude and prayers go out to anyone who understands and donates and or anyone who PRAY'S for Tahee! LOVE YOU!
