My name is Lisa Jackson and I am creating this Go Fund Me page for my dear friend Patti Rineti. Patti is going thru the unimaginable. Patti’s son Nick ended his life on Tuesday , May 12th.  Nick was such a beautiful, kind and loving young man.  He was an excellent athlete, a wonderful artist and lettered in academics in high school.  Nick went on to Chico State where he was working on  an engineering degree.  He was the loving son of Rick Rinetti,  a caring older brother to his sister Jaime and his brother Casey.  He was an incredibly loving son and the light of his moms life.  Throughout his adult life, Nick struggled with addiction issues, but more than that, he fought valiantly.  Addiction is a fierce beast and Nick fought hard.  He worked a strong recovery program and was very involved with AA. I believe that all of this isolation due to the Coronavirus helped to enhance Nicks loneliness.  Our AA communities really depend on each other for strength and support and during these days of not being able to gather together, it has taken a toll on those who depend on each other for that support. 
 
Nick was a beautiful young man, who woke up every day focused on living his best and healthiest life.
 
And now my dear friend, while walking through terrible grief, is also hit with the costs of cremating, burying and remembering Nicks life.  If you can, please donate to help this special woman, who typically spends her time caring for others.
 
I appreciate your love, care and generosity during this ever so difficult time.
