My name is Tuna Sheppard and I am a level 3 resident at the House of Mercy. I’m 55 years old and I spent the majority of my life, 39 years, working at a carnival. I traveled with them to many cities, states, and even Mexico and Canada. I was let go from my job due to an injury I had acquired that wasn’t work related and because of it, I couldn’t take care of myself and work my job like I was supposed to.
“We are actually counting our blessings during this time. Praise God Shields Pest & Lawn is an Essential Business so we are still taking care of customers. Though homeschooling our PreK sweetie means more work for Mom, while working from home, I honestly wouldn’t trade this time! We play more games together, we’re loving the worship song challenge on FB, participating in church online, and taking lots of walks around town so we can wave at our neighbors. I find comfort in all the prayers we have seen and heard for our President, Country, and neighbors! People coming together in this crisis is beautiful!”

My name is Lori Taylor and I’m 33 years young. By 18 I was a pothead, alcoholic and ‘X’ addict. By 28 I traded all that for methamphetamines. I spent most of my life conforming to the world, living in wickedness, and I was very indecisive in my faith.
