Sophia's legacy

Donation protected

Sophia Nickerson was tragically killed by a drunk driver on July 21, 2021. At the young age of 14, she can no longer fulfill her dreams or see her younger sister grow up. Her sister, Willow (Lilianna), was with her at the time of the accident and will always carry this trauma in her heart and soul. Sophia was always Willow's protector, supporter and best friend. We are seeking to build a fund for Willow for all her future educational and mental health needs. Sophia always wanted the best for Willow and this is a perfect way to keep her spirit alive so Willow can do all the thing she needs to do to become whoever she wants to be. While money can't quite help the heart and soul to heal, it can help ensure her future has smaller road blocks and more gentle twists and turns so she can shine her light in a world filled with darkness.


A 3k fun run is also being set up to happen once year around the start of the school year in memory of Sophia and to raise money for drunk driving awareness. Please keep your eyes peeled for when and where this will happen.


Thank you all from our whole hearts. This has been such a trying time for our family. We are so appreciative to all of you.
