If you know Nate, you know his smile, his kind heart, and the joy he brings to others. At just 30 years old, Nate’s life changed suddenly when he suffered a massive stroke. Today, Nate is courageously fighting his way forward at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, one of the nation’s top rehabilitation centers. Every single day he is working hard in therapy, pushing through challenges, and making progress that has already brought tears, hope, and lots of prayers of thanksgiving from those who love him.

Nate’s mom, Lisa, a beloved employee at Foley Elementary, has been by his side every step of the way. As you can imagine, the emotional and financial burden of long-term rehabilitation, travel, meals, time away from work, and unexpected expenses has been overwhelming. Many have asked how they can help. First and foremost, please continue to pray for Nate and his family. Your prayers mean everything.

If you feel led to give, any donation — big or small — will help ease the financial stress so the family can focus on what matters most: Nate’s healing and recovery. Most importantly, please share Nate’s story and help us surround this sweet family with love, support, and prayer. Thank you for loving Nate, believing in him, and cheering him on every step of the way. #NateStrong
