My daughter recently lost her partner in a tragic work accident, Nick was working in Buffalo Grove finishing up for the day to head home when the trench collapsed on him. Fighting for his life when it took the rescue team over an hour to get him out Nicole was told he still had a pulse and is being transported to the hospital. With great hope knowing how strong Nick is, she rushed to the hospital from the job site. Nick fought for his life, those around him know he had the biggest heart, full of kindness and joy, a hardworking young man who is loved by many taken too soon. Nicole and Nick have been building a beautiful life together for the past 5 years. Everything they’d worked to build was taken away leaving her with nothing betrayed by his family. Nicole is heartbroken after losing the love of her life, her whole heart, & best friend. Her whole world has been ripped away, the night before Nicks burial Nicole was held against her will and interrogated for hours by his family for his user and passwords to his financial accounts. They then proceeded to threaten her from attending the funeral. As many told her she has every right to be there but she wanted Nick to be put to rest peacefully even if that meant her watching from a distance. Being wrongfully thrown out of their home with only some of her personal belongings set outside on the front lawn, not allowing her to come into her own home to get her belongings or any sentimental items of Nick. With the sudden tragic loss of her whole world, Nicole has been beat down needing the strength to rebuild herself. As a father seeing my daughter dying inside, and losing Nick who was like a son to me, We are asking for help with any kind of donation to help Nicole get back on her feet while searching for a new place to live, monthly living expenses, and seek help from an attorney and therapist as she returns to work taking it day by day.
