<div>On July 4th, what was supposed to be a day of family fun at an all-American baseball game followed by fireworks quickly became the worst day of our lives. A fast-moving foul ball came into the stands and struck our sweet Cece in the head with devastating force.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cece underwent emergency brain surgery and is now four days post-surgery. She is healing remarkably well, but there is still a long road ahead. In the weeks, months, and year to come, she will require close monitoring and continued care as she works toward recovery. Jen and Eric are doing everything they can to support their daughter through this unimaginable ordeal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We want to help ease the financial burden of medical expenses and provide support for any rehabilitation and ongoing care Cece may need. Our hope is to give Jen and Eric the peace of mind to focus entirely on Cece's healing, rather than worrying about the challenges that lie ahead.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So many of you have asked how you can help, and we are truly overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support for Cece and her family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are deeply grateful for every prayer, message, and act of kindness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Velez/Nicholson sisters are asking for your support during this incredibly difficult time. Please know that your prayers are always appreciated first and foremost, but if you are able to help support our sweet little Cece and her family, it would mean more than words can express. Your generosity and compassion will make a world of difference, and we are sincerely grateful for any support you can give.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Update * This fundraiser has been created for our daughter, Cecilia (“Cece”). I am her dad, Eric, and along with her mom, Jen, we have been added as the beneficiaries so the funds can go directly toward supporting Cece and our family during this incredibly challenging time. Our family started this fundraiser on our behalf, and we were genuinely overwhelmed when we found out. We are incredibly grateful for the love, generosity, and support that has been shown to us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cece has been through more than any child should ever have to face, but she continues to amaze us with her strength. She is in good spirits, surrounded by love, and taking things one day at a time as she continues her recovery. We are so thankful for every bit of encouragement, every prayer, and every person who has taken the time to reach out.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All donations will be used responsibly and directly to support Cece and our family, including the immediate and ongoing expenses that come with this situation. We are committed to treating every donation with care, gratitude, and transparency.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, prayed, or simply checked in on us. The outpouring of love from our family, friends, coworkers, and community has carried us through some of the hardest days of our lives. We will never be able to fully express how much your kindness means to our family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>-Eric &amp; Jennifer Nicholson
