I wanted to write about what me and my family have been working on the last couple of days since my beautiful brother has passed away. As a result of the many beautiful stories that have been shared about Isaac, we have decided to continue the legacy of his life by founding the “I’ve Got Your Back” Foundation (www.ivegotyourbacks.org ).
Isaac’s life was dedicated to helping others and there are many stories that reflect his giving heart. Whether he was providing young athletes with sporting equipment, setting up a service that accompanied college girls to their dorms after a fellow student was violated, taking the shoes off his feet for a homeless man, volunteering for inner city missions work, tutoring a young student in math or purchasing birthday gifts for underprivileged kids, Isaac continually showed love and support to those around him.
Because Isaac had a passion for helping and working with children, many of the foundation programs will be for kids. Just a few of the programs we plan to implement with this foundation include a football camp for kids, a tutoring program for kids, providing school supplies to needy children, providing athletic equipment for underprivileged kids, giving Christmas and birthday presents to kids in need, providing winter coats, gloves and boots for needy kids and creating a scholarship program for two college-bound seniors at both Marshall High School and Battle Creek Central High School.
Our mission is to educate, impact and inspire hope to area youths in need by continuing some of the efforts that reflect Isaac’s heart. Please check out the website to see if there is a way you can support this great cause.
Thanks to everyone for you support during this really difficult time, it means more than you will ever know. I will write as soon as I can , Jaime Nicole
