This is a difficult message to share…

@jimmynicholsjr5, a former player at @PCFriarsmbb, @VCU_Hoops & @CoastalMBB, has been fighting for his life in Uruguay, where he was playing professionally.

Jimmy has undergone several emergency operations and remains in critical condition under 24/7 supervision and care.

Over the weekend, doctors warned us to prepare for the worst.

Thanks to the incredible efforts of @votetimscott’s office, Jimmy’s parents were able to urgently travel to Uruguay to be by their son’s side. Since their arrival, Jimmy’s outlook has improved greatly.

But Jimmy still has a long fight ahead of him — and he and his family need our help.

The unforeseen medical, travel and related expenses are staggering. Any contribution, no matter the amount, can make a meaningful difference as his family focuses on Jimmy’s recovery and ultimately bringing him home.

First and foremost, the Nichols family asks for your prayers. Please pray for Jimmy, his strength, his healing, and everyone caring for him.

If you are able to contribute, please consider helping. If you cannot, sharing this message can make a difference too.

Jimmy is fighting. His family is beside him. Let’s make sure they know the basketball community is behind them.

🙏 Pray for Jimmy.

My friend sent me these photos taken exiting my mom’s funeral. She said,“When I walked out of church on Friday, my heart missed a beat! I was quickly overcome with emotion seeing Mike’s team waiting to pay their respects to your mom.”That’s what Mike does- creates family. 💙🤍
