Honoring Nick Duckworth: A Hero's Legacy

Honoring Nick Duckworth

Dear friends, family, and compassionate souls,

With heavy hearts, we come together to honor the memory of Nick Duckworth, a beloved brother, son, humanitarian and hero who tragically lost his life on October 11th while serving in Ukraine. Nick dedicated his life to helping others, leaving behind his family and friends in 2022 to provide humanitarian aid and medical support on the front lines. His bravery and selflessness were evident when he evacuated and saved four wounded soldiers; all before sacrificing himself to shield two fellow soldiers from an incoming explosion.

Throughout his time in Ukraine, Nick facilitated over 3,000 evacuations, saving countless lives—both human and animal—amid the chaos of war. His commitment to humanitarian efforts extended beyond people, as he tirelessly rescued displaced animals, providing them with safety and care in their darkest moments. Nick’s work was driven by an unwavering desire to alleviate suffering, making a profound impact on countless lives.

Nick's passion for helping those in need was unmatched. He found his purpose in Ukraine, touching the lives of thousands, from soldiers to civilians. As we navigate the profound pain of his loss, we ask for your support in honoring his legacy. This GoFundMe campaign is dedicated to covering the costs of memorial expenses and the return of Nick’s belongings to the United States. Any remaining funds will be donated directly to humanitarian aid efforts in Ukraine, reflecting Nick’s unwavering commitment to those in need.

We invite you to share your memories and stories of Nick, a man who embraced life with a manic spirit and a huge heart. Please help us celebrate his incredible life and ensure that his impact continues to resonate through the support of those he fought for.

Thank you for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time. Let us come together to remember Nick, a true hero who will forever be missed.
