Our dear friend Nick O’Connor recently experienced something no one expects at just 36 years old — he suffered a heart attack and had to undergo an emergency procedure to have a stent placed in his arteries. It was a scary and unexpected moment, but thankfully Nick is still with us and on the path to recovery.

Anyone who knows Nick knows the kind of energy he brings into a room. He’s the guy who’s always out in the community, greeting people with a warm smile, cracking jokes, and lifting others up without even trying. His positivity is contagious, and he’s the kind of friend who makes every gathering a little brighter.

Now, Nick needs us. Because of his recovery, he’s had to miss a significant amount of work, and the financial strain of both medical costs and daily living expenses is a heavy weight on his shoulders. While Nick is focusing on healing, we want to take some of that stress away so he can get back to doing what he does best — spreading joy to everyone around him.

We’re asking for support to help cover his day-to-day living costs while he gets back on his feet. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a difference. And if you can’t donate, sharing this page is just as meaningful to Nick.

Nick has given so much of his heart and energy to others — let’s rally around him now and remind him that he’s not alone on this journey.
