Nicholas was the younger brother to my wife Nancy. Nicholas often regretted some of his life choices and came to a point in his life, where he was ready to make a change for the better.
Before he had a chance to make those changes, his life was cut short. Nicholas had lung cancer, but he didn’t know it until he went to the hospital complaining about chest pain and difficulty breathing. The night before he went on life support, we had a conversation about he and I meeting, talking and helping him with making those better choices. Not knowing that this would be my last time talking to him, we both agreed this would be a good thing.
About a week later Nicholas passed away quietly in the hospital with friends and family around him.
wife and I made the decision to honor him by creating this organization in his name to do just that. In his name to help young educate and assist our youth that we can.
The Nicholas Foundation will stand in the gap as a ministry that will fill these voids while sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our scholarships are designed to assist students with tuition, books, laptops, organization fees, and more.
We want to “Break Chains for Change” and help give our youth a different perspective on life by assisting them in education that will give them a different view of what success can be.
