Melila Nicholas "Nicho" Austin Purcell
Taylor's Son
Nicho was born a perfectly healthy baby at 8 lb 4 oz January 26th, 2017. He went down for his morning nap and woke up in the arms of God March 13, 2017. Later we were informed that he passed due to S.I.D.S. and also discovered that this is the leading cause of death in infants 0-1yr in age and that 30% of kids and teens, 25% of adults have never heard of S.I.D.S.
Upon receiving this news and information we decided that something needed to be done, and founded The Nicho's Cause Foundation - Raising Awareness for Sudden Infant Death. There was a promise that we made to Nicho, that we would share his story, help spread awareness on S.I.D.S. everyday and do everything in out power to try to prevent this from happening to another infant.
