Hi my name is Marissa & I’m a close friend of Nicholas’s Sister Anna.
On August 5,2023, a family tragically lost a son, grandson, husband, father, brother, uncle, and friend. Nicholas Chernis was a 28 year old former marine who served for 8 years. During a deployment his fellow Marine/friend and him were hit by an explosive. Sadly, his friend passed, and Nicholas suffered a traumatic brain injury, and required knee surgery in Germany. He was suffering from PTSD along with the TBI post injury related symptoms which can last a lifetime. If this past pandemic has taught us anything, it’s that mental health is a far too common struggle among individuals and is not properly diagnosed or treated. As a marine who served our country, he deserved the highest level of care for everything he endured during his deployments. Unfortunately, most of us know that veterans don’t get the proper treatment they need. Nicholas left behind his 5 year old daughter Carly, and his 2 year old son Cooper with whom he shares with his wife, Danielle Chernis. Danielle recently found out that she and Nick are expecting another baby. Nick was so thrilled knowing that this would be the first birth of his child that he would physically be able to attend. Please donate to help Danielle fund the proper goodbye service this marine deserves. We are asking to raise money for funeral expenses, medical care for Danielle and her unborn baby, and to allow her to take the time she needs to grieve this loss. Thank you & God Bless.
