THE PARENTS of the lone survivor of Sunday’s horrific vehicle crash are praying and keeping vigil at their daughter’s bedside.
“I believe in God and I have faith,” Richard Holder told the MIDWEEK NATION yesterday. He said that 23-year-old Nakisha Shepherd was still under sedation in the Intensive Care Unit of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) but was showing signs of movement in her limbs.
The former St Michael School student who graduated last week from the University of the West Indies with a degree in accounts and management, is in a life-and-death struggle after the deadly weekend accident in which four young women were killed, including her cousin Shameka Shepherd.
Holder, the assistant manager and the friendly face at Abed’s Store in Swan Street, and Nakisha’s mother, Carletta Shepherd, a devout Christian, are yet to find out the true nature of their daughter’s injuries. Carletta has left the fate of her daughter’s future “in God’s hands”.
