Help Nich Get Back On His Feet!!
Donation protected
If you know Nich, you know he can't stay off his feet for long.
But on Aug. 23rd Nich was in an Uber on his way home from doing what he loves the most - acting, when his car was broadsided by another vehicle.
Nich was trapped in the back seat until paramedics removed him and brought him to Cedars Sinai where doctors diagnosed him with a brain bleed, a fractured pelvis, fractured femur, fractured tailbone, fractured eye socket, and multiple fractured vertebrae in his neck.
On Aug. 24th he underwent 9.5 hours of surgery to repair his hip and pelvis.
Fortunately, all his surgeries have gone well, and doctors are cautiously optimistic about his outcome. But Nich will need weeks and weeks of physical rehab before he can be on his own.
His family lives across the country and they're doing their best to support him any way they can, but it will be a long process to get our Nich back up and bouncing around again. And while his work has promised to keep him on as soon as he can get back to a computer, rehab facilities are VERY expensive.
I've known Nich since 2003, and he has always been a generous and loving soul. He's touched a lot of lives with his energy and beauty, and he's had a very long and hard road getting to where he is now; teaching and directing, and helping his students develop their own passions. His castmates love him, and his students miss him. Now is our chance to give back a bit of the love he's given all of us.
If you can, please consider donating to help cover his PT costs and whatever else he needs to get him back on his feet so he can continue to be a light for others. Every little bit helps. And please share this post! You never know the friends you have in common.
Thank you SO MUCH!!!
