Hello. My name is Cedric Nichols. I am a fitness specialist  for Gonzales Healthcare Systems, Thrive Healthplex in my hometown of Gonzales, Tx. I am a father of 5, 3 girls and 2 boys. Ages ranging from 3-14. I am happily engaged to the love of my life, Vanessa. I am a deacon in training at my church, St James Missionary Baptist Church.  On November 20, 2020, my life was drastically changed when I suffered a spinal cord injury which has resulted in quadriplegia because of a brutal assault. I am holding this fundraiser to help  myself continue physical and occupational therapy, medical expenses, medical equipment for my home and stem cell therapy. Due to my accident, I am confined to a wheelchair and I don't have the best means of transportation so I would like to possibly modify my vehicle or find means to purchase a wheelchair accessible vehicle.  To God, all the glory. I know the Lord is the one who makes everything possible in my life and thank you to everyone for any and all help for my family and I.
