Supporting Calvin ❤️
Many of you know my younger brother Calvin from Nourish.
He used to work behind the counter making smoothies and juices, always smiling, always moving fast, and always trying to beat the rush. If you’ve been coming to Nourish for a while, there’s a good chance you’ve met him.
Over the past three years, Calvin has been dealing with severe health challenges that have completely changed his life. What started as a search for answers eventually led us through countless doctors, specialists, treatments, hospital visits, and years of uncertainty.
More recently, we learned that in addition to Lyme disease, Calvin is dealing with severe cranial cervical instability (CCI), a condition that has caused significant pain and limitations and has required specialized treatment.
Just last week, Calvin traveled to Colorado to undergo a procedure called PICL in hopes of avoiding a major surgery and giving him a chance at getting his life back. While we’re hopeful, this is only the beginning of a long recovery process and there are still significant medical expenses ahead.
As a family, we’ve done everything we can to help him through this journey, but we’ve reached a point where we need to ask for help. I’ve hesitated for a while to post about this on the Nourish page, we try to keep things positive and focused on wellness and beautiful food photos but there’s nothing that matters to me more than getting Calvin better and things have reached a pretty scary point and my mom needs help affording this care so here I am asking for your help!
If you’re able to contribute to Calvin’s fundraiser, we would be incredibly grateful. And if donating isn’t possible, simply sharing his story can make a huge difference.
Thank you for supporting our family, our business, and the people behind it. It means more than you know.
More than anything, we just want to see Calvin back on his feet again playing basketball, spending time with friends, and hopefully making smoothies at Nourish by my side someday again.
