Nel & Jessy have done so much for so many people, especially in the skate community and right now they need our help! If you know them, you know their home is your home and all are welcome. They have graciously hosted so many amazing free events, swim and skate sessions in their backyard and never expect anything from anyone. 

 

On Nel’s Birthday (11/23), their home was broken into two times. The thieves stole everything from them. Passports, green cards, laptops, computers, TVs, house and car keys, jewelry, cash, miscellaneous items AND a 2005 F150 truck they had JUST bought and had not had a chance yet to get full coverage insurance on. Their new truck bought less than a month ago is now a total loss.

 

The burglary comes less than a week before they are supposed to take a trip to visit family back home in Spain. Without their ID, passport and green cards it will be nearly impossible and the tickets are non-refundable. Just to get all these documents replaced is very expensive and typically very time consuming. It could be months! Meanwhile, they have had to change the locks and worry about the safety of their little family and their home. The thieves still have the spare key fob to their only remaining car and it can cost up to $1,000 just to re-key!

 

If you can spare anything to help them during this very difficult time, everything helps! Let’s come together and help an amazing family that does not deserve this unexpected hardship.
