Nick's Ticker

Donation protected
Meet Nick.


34 years old. Father. Husband. Photographer. Artist. One of life’s active participants. He enjoys weight lifting, rock climbing, and camping. Dedicated family man. Caring friend. 

Nick needs a new heart.

While it is safe to say that while we, his family and friends, always knew that Nick had a big heart metaphorically speaking, a very unexpected diagnosis of non-compaction cardiomyopathy (an extremely rare and untreatable heart defect) was certainly not news we were prepared to receive in November of 2016.

A graduate of Willowbrook High School and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Nick currently resides in Downers Grove with his wife, Jenna, son, Evan and cat Neo. Because of his condition, he is unable to return to his job as a Substation Mechanic.

The goal of this GoFundMe page is to help with Nick and Jenna deal with the unseen side effects of financial uncertainty that accompany his diagnosis.

We his friends and family offer you our heartfelt gratitude and thank you for your donation and support. Please help us share this message. From our heart to yours.
