Hi there, I'm writing this on behalf of my dear friend Nick. Sadly, he had been hospitalized in critical condition after being a victim of a violent crime on October 30th in Oakland, CA. He is currently in stable condition in an East Bay trauma facility but still suffering quite a bit of pain and a few complications due to this incident. He has had to have some organs removed and is currently fighting infections in the meantime. With that being said, his medical bills are piling up considering he is unable to be released as of yet. Nick's larger than life smile, comical banter, loyalty, and generosity, has touched so many people's hearts around the world, especially in the city of Oakland. He is an incredibly talented artist , genuine friend and a valued member of the community. He's loved by many and we are hoping that the community can rally together to support him in helping get him back on his feet so he can begin the tough road to recovery. All donations will go directly into his account to help cover this mountain of medical expenses. Anything helps, thank you!
