According to Shannon, “on May 14th of this year, I received a distressing call from my dad, who was hospitalized far away in Memphis, Tennessee.”
“We managed a brief FaceTime conversation before his pain became too unbearable. Desperate, I reached out to a family friend, who flew to Memphis while I prepared to join them. What we found shattered our world: my dad fighting for his life in the ICU,” she added.
“During the following weeks, my family and I unraveled a horrifying truth—my dad had fallen victim to elder abuse and financial exploitation. Determined to seek justice, we a are working closely with the Colorado Bureau of Investigations and the local Sheriff’s Department in my father’s home state, ” Shannon explained,
She created a GofundMe, to raise money, “To catch and prosecute the alleged perpetrators, [and give us] legal assistance, hoping they face the full weight of the law.”
She also said that “Our priority remains my father’s medical needs and providing him a safe haven. His home had been violated, stripped of anything valuable.”
