Tessa Rickards has been a friend to many of us since high school, and for the past four years, she’s been a dedicated caregiver for Nick. She goes above and beyond her job description, making multiple trips each day to ensure Nick has the support he needs. Her kindness and commitment have been a blessing to Nick and everyone who knows her.

Recently, Tessa’s car broke down, and without it, she can’t continue her caregiving work. The cost of repairs is significant, and on top of that, the state does not cover her travel or gas expenses. With Nick’s other caregiver moving on, Tessa has taken on even more responsibility, but she can’t do it alone. She needs reliable transportation to keep helping Nick every day.

We’re reaching out to our community to ask for your support. Every donation will go directly to repairing Tessa’s car and helping with gas and other caregiving expenses. Please give what you can and help us get Tessa back on the road—she has a heart of gold and truly needs our help right now..
