Neli's “Hope” to Counsel Those Who Have Not Been

Our family suffered the loss of our dear son Nelson Isaiah Vazquez at the young age of 24; he was unexpectedly called home by his Lord and Savior. His loss was sudden and occurred before he was able to graduate from Johnson and Whales University in December 2022 with B.A. in Psychology and an M.S. in Clinical Health Counseling. Our son was passionate about counseling and saw it as “hope and a way to help people who have not been heard.” He was passionate about making positive contributions to this world, performing acts of kindness daily, and ensuring he was present for those who needed someone to listen to or needed guidance.

We are setting up this scholarship fund to help further students' studies in the clinical health profession. We know that he would have wanted to create good and positive things for anyone he could help, even in his death! On behalf of Neli, we hope you will help us help students studying psychology and clinical health soar and reach the skies that Neli envisioned.
