Nikki Ornelas is a devoted mom, a cherished friend, and a pillar of her community. I’ve known Nikki since 2004, and her positive energy and deep love for her two daughters, Aaliyah (7) and Peyton (5), have always stood out. Nikki’s commitment to her girls is unwavering—she fills their lives with crafts, holiday decorating, and beach adventures, creating memories that mean everything to them.

Nikki’s kindness extends far beyond her family. She’s been voted bartender of the year by her community, and for the past eight years, she’s been a dedicated part of 'Reef’s Run.' She’s always the first to step up when someone needs help, including organizing fundraisers for friends in need. Now, Nikki is facing her own challenge: a difficult custody battle. She is working towards, 50/50 custody so both parents can be there for Aaliyah and Peyton, but the mounting legal fees are becoming overwhelming and assisting Nikki will help alleviate financial stress.

By supporting this fundraiser, you’re helping Nikki fight for her family and giving Aaliyah and Peyton the stability they deserve. Your generosity will go directly toward legal fees, making a real difference for a mom who has always given so much to others.
