In memory of Nicholas, I have made a donation to the Lupus Foundation of America and would like to extend the opportunity to Nick's friends and family to contribute as well, should you feel compelled to do so. As many of you know, Nick faced significant challenges throughout his life due to lupus. There were countless moments when we feared for his life, but his strength and resilience always saw him through. He was an extraordinary individual, not only incredibly strong but also exceptionally kind, always willing to help others despite the hardships he endured.

Sadly, we lost Nicholas unexpectedly on July 22, 2024, just as we thought he had finally overcome his struggles. His passing has left a void in our family, and we are still grappling with the loss. To honor his memory and continue his beautiful legacy, I ask that you consider making a donation to the Lupus Foundation of America. Any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. I understand that times are difficult for many, and if you are unable to donate, I encourage you to perform an act of kindness in Nick’s memory, whether it's offering a smile to a stranger or visiting an animal shelter.

We will forever love and miss you, Nicholas.
