15 Year Old

I want to thank the Nels Foundation for granting me a scholarship this season.  I am so grateful for your help. I would not have been able to play without your assistance.  I want to give back to your organization in any way that I can.  Please let me know when you need my help and I will be there.

9 Year Old

My grandson’s father is incarcerated and his mother does not contribute to his hockey. I am his grandmother. I am on a fixed income and do all that I can to keep him in hockey. His whole life revolves around hockey and teaches him lessons that he cannot learn elsewhere. He needs help with his registration fees.  Please help in any way possible.

My husband was recently diagnosed with cancer and is receiving treatment in Seattle.  With traveling expenses to Seattle, it has caused a severe financial strain on our family’s income.  We paid for my grandson’s hockey which he loves and would be devastated if he can’t play this season.  Anything the Nels Foundation can do to help would be greatly appreciated.
