What's Happening Now?!?!

Nick's Foundation has been fairly inactive for the past few months, 
but things are starting to pick back up again!  

We are currently working towards adding three more swings to the campus of Kentucky Christian University as well as planning the third annual Memory Walk/Run in Grayson, Kentucky.  

Proceeds from this race will be shared between Relay for Life and a non-profit organization that helps plant new churches in India.

We are also working towards publishing a book which will help raise the rest of the money needed to build the kitchen and dining hall for the orphanage in Damoh, India.

When Nick's Foundation first began, we had all kinds of energy and ideas.

Five years later, we find ourselves reevaluating our goals and mission statement.

Nick Nooks are still being restocked in many doctors' offices and hospitals in our area.

This makes me smile, because reading was Nick's favorite past-time!  I know he would love seeing kids reading books with their families while waiting to see the doctor.

We are passionate about helping India learn about the One true and living God and about helping kids learn to love reading.

These seem to be our two main passions.

We will keep you posted on how these two passions unfold.

Thank you for still caring about Nick's legacy.

He still touches lives every day!

Looking Ahead!

This past school year has been a busy one, and because of this I haven't posted often on Nick's Foundation website.

Even though I haven't posted, Nick's Foundation has still been busy!

Over the past few months, here are some of the things the foundation has been doing:

1.  Helped a family collect the funds needed to build a ramp to their front porch for their daughter's wheelchair.

2.  Helped purchase an IPad for a boy who is unable to communicate verbally with his family.

3.  Helped send a seamstress to Haiti to deliver clothing she had made to children in a Christian school.

4.  Supported Relay for Life with a $1,000 donation.

5.  Continued the collection of pop tabs for Ronald McDonald Houses.

6.  Continued resupplying of children's books to Nick Nooks in area doctor's offices and hospital.



OUR NEXT BIG VENTURE IS TO FOCUS ON THE ORPHANAGE IN INDIA......................

I'll have more information soon about this project!

Until then, know that your donations make a difference and your love and support mean the world to our family!


Thankful for all of you!
