Our cousin, brother, son, and friend, Nick lost everything he owned last week when the camper van he had been traveling in was stolen full of many of his life’s possessions. Nick is a Wilderness Therapy Field Guide Counselor for troubled teens. He has helped hundreds of teens all over the country work through emotional and behavioral challenges and to rebuild a trusting, loving relationship with their families. He was out for a long weekend with friends, and upon his return his van was gone. He is completely devastated and has lost everything he owned. 


Nick spent the better part of two years renovating his 1992 Mitsubishi Delica so that he could camp out of it while working in the Pacific Northwest wilderness sites in Utah, California and now Oregon. No detail was left behind when it came to his van or survival gear. The interior was completely livable with custom and natural living quarters. He purchased a brand new motor from Japan and upgraded his suspension to handle the rougher terrains  and to make sure he would get to the best locations which was part of his success. He spent all his free time and hard earned money using the best materials and products available to turn this van from a dream into a reality. 


When the van and all his contents were stolen, all of that was ripped away from him. Please help Nick get back on his feet so that he can start to rebuild and replace what he has lost. Many of the items were priceless and irreplaceable personal treasures. He has lost clothes, computer, household items, binoculars, shoes, toiletries...the list goes on. He is strong, but this is a real test. 


Nick is truly one of the most generous people around and is always trying to help others.   He would never ask for hand outs or donations but he will need to start over now and any help would be very valuable. 


Thank you so much in advance to everyone who can so generously donate.


Any amount makes a difference.
