On November 15th in Lake County, my 6-year-old cousin Nickai was involved in a devastating wreck that changed his life in an instant. His spine was partially shattered, and he required emergency surgery due to internal bleeding. He is now receiving care at Arnold Palmer in Orlando, facing a long and uncertain recovery with doctors sharing that there is only a 50% chance he may walk again. His parents live in Lakeland and are having to make the drive back and forth every day to be by his side, creating a financial burden on top of already overwhelming emotional and medical stress.

I am raising these funds on behalf of his parents(my cousins), who would never ask for help themselves, but as many of us know, during a time like this, support can make all the difference. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will help with travel costs, medical-related expenses, lost income, and the long recovery journey ahead. Our family deeply appreciates every donation, share, and prayer. Thank you for helping hold Nickai and his parents up during this heartbreaking and uncertain time.

My name is Hayley Jackson, and I am the cousin of Nickai’s father. I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of Nickai and his family.

The funds raised will go toward expenses related to his recovery, including gas for travel to and from the hospital, loss of wages during this time, medical expenses, and any additional care or support needed as he continues to heal.

With permission from his parents as funds are needed, I will be sending the money directly to his parents.

Thank you for your support, prayers, and kindness during this time.
