Laquana Sheppard, a dedicated school teacher and mother, was among the victims injured in the tragic terror attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans during the New Year’s celebrations.

Her sister, Herbrinisha Sheppard, has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds to support Laquana as she recovers from severe injuries sustained during the incident.

“On New Year’s, my sister was part of the Bourbon Street terrorist attack,” Herbrinisha explained. “She’s currently in the hospital, recovering from this traumatic experience.”

Laquana’s injuries are significant enough to prevent her from returning to her role as a school teacher, a position she holds with great pride and love.

“She sustained severe injuries that keep her from returning to work as a loving school teacher,” Herbrinisha shared.

In addition to her professional life, Laquana is a devoted mother to her young daughter, adding another layer of urgency to her recovery and financial stability.

Herbrinisha emphasized that the funds raised will be sent directly to Laquana to help her navigate this challenging time, ensuring she can maintain stability as she undergoes her recovery.

“These funds will assist her in keeping her life somewhat stable through this critical recovery process,” Herbrinisha wrote.

She also urged the community to contribute by either donating or sharing the campaign to spread awareness.

The attack has left Laquana and her family reeling, but her sister remains hopeful that the kindness and generosity of others will help them through this trying time.

“Please help her out by donating or sharing her information. Everything is greatly appreciated!”

The GoFundMe campaign is active, and contributions of any size will directly support Laquana’s medical and living expenses as she works toward recovery.

This tragic incident has left many families, like the Sheppards, grappling with unimaginable challenges. The community’s support can make a meaningful difference in helping Laquana heal and rebuild her life.
