Supporting the Stevens Family

Donation protected

I'm creating this fundraiser on behalf of the friends and family of Lance and Sophia Stevens. 

On Saturday, May 29th, just like any other, a random and senseless shooting occurred while Lance was outside doing yard work. His mother, Kim, was dropping off her two grandchildren (6 and 3 years old) while Lance was cutting tree limbs in the front yard.  The 2 adults talked in the driveway while the two boys slept.  At one point, the 6 year old woke up to use the restroom.  Soon after, a man whom this family had never seen or met walked up to their driveway and began to recklessly shoot at Lance and his mom, while the 3 year old remained asleep in the backseat.    

While we are overjoyed at the fact that no causalities were suffered, this undeserved act has wreaked havoc on the lives of those involved. Lance and his mother have had to go through multiple surgeries and will have a mountain of medical debt to pay. Not to mention, they both face additional surgeries in the near future as they continue their healing process.  Thankfully, the children were spared any physical injuries, but are dealing with the trauma of that day. The counseling that this beautiful family needs is more than necessary but also a heavy burden and added expense, which is a direct result of this event caused by no fault of their own. 

 No part of the first floor of their home was untouched by the actions of this criminal. This family had to come home to the place where their best memories were made to bullet holes through walls, windows, and beloved items that all had to be replaced. 

 Finally, Lance's mother's car (being a part of the crime scene) ended up being impounded. While there, the missed payments (because she was in the ICU) caused the car company to repossess the car without their knowledge. She now has no car. 

 A caring, generous, and God-fearing family's world was turned upside down for absolutely no reason. This was completely random and unprovoked and they are now left putting the pieces together.  

 Any help that you could offer this family would be more than appreciated.
