Hero Helps Others While Preserving Through Struggles
Nicholas has been challenged since his premature birth at only 24 weeks. While he was born with an overwhelming variety of complications, he has an inner determination to keep going. Before his hip surgery, he fought to keep walking with the use of a walker. He’s also had issues with his hearing, spine, and eye. Nicholas is now in a wheelchair, and working hard in physical therapy to walk again. He also spends a lot of his time undergoing occupational and speech therapies. If anyone doubts she can do a task, he figures out a way to make it doable for himself. Nicholas not only inspires with his determination but also for his compassion while persevering through his own struggles. He volunteers to help others and continues to raise money for causes close to his heart. He was nominated byAnneO’Gorman, his Child Life Specialist atShrinersHospital for Children in Springfield, MA.KidsWishNetworkis proud to name Nicholas Hero of the Month!

We are dedicated to infusing hope, creating happy memories, and improving the quality of life for children experiencing life-altering situations. We started with the single purpose of granting wishes to children suffering from life-threatening conditions but have since created additional programs to benefit kids nationwide, including Hero of the Month, Project Toy Drop, Holiday of Hope Gift Banks, and A Child Forever Funeral Assistance.
