The Nick Wilson Foundation

The Nick Wilson Foundation supports individuals and families impacted by addiction by bridging the gap between treatment, recovery, and long-term hope.

No parent ever expects their child to leave this earth before them. It’s a wound that never truly heals.

Our founder, Shelly Vivirito, knows this pain firsthand. Her son, Nick, was amazing — funny, smart, and kind — and for years he battled depression and addiction. After achieving 10 months of sobriety, thanks in part to the team at Harris House and Learn to Live Recovery, Nick tragically passed away from a massive brain bleed in 2022.

Before leaving us, Nick became a mentor and friend to many on their own path toward recovery. He always looked for ways to give back, lift others up, and offer the support he once needed.

Even though Nick is no longer with us, his foundation continues his mission — helping men and women access resources, find community, and move from addiction to recovery with dignity and hope.
