Tricia's husband, Joel Nichols, passed away unexpectedly Thursday, December 11th after 10 years of marriage. Joel spent 5 years in the Marines. He went in at the end of Vietnam and did a tour in Granada. He got sick a couple of years ago and became bedridden. Their daughter, Arianna, and grandson, Benjamin, moved in to help take care of Joel so Tricia could work full-time and pay the bills.

Unfortunately, their house went into foreclosure and they were going to file for bankruptcy, but Joel passed before they could file. Joel did not have life insurance or a living will. She cannot collect on his social security for another decade.

Tricia is in dire need of a home for herself, her daughter, her grandson, 6 dogs, and 2 cats.

Thank you for everything. Also, thank you to this wonderful company and great group of people I get to work for. You all have been wonderful to me from the very first interview until now. Thank you. I appreciate you all more than you will ever know. It means so much to have all the love and support everyone has given my family and myself.
