Nicole Fortune served as the SE Ohio Regional Coordinator for several years and will soon be transitioning to a position as SGM Mid-Michigan Regional Coordinator. Nicole is the mother of three boys: Jacob, Samuel and Henry. She and her husband, Justin, were shocked after a perfectly normal and healthy pregnancy to hear the words, “I’m sorry there is no heart beat” on Christmas Day 2013 just five days before they planned to meet their baby. They received a Dreams of You care package following the full term unexplained stillbirth of their middle son, Samuel Colt. Nicole has a passion for walking with hurting families, desiring to pay forward the love and kindness shown her and to honor her son’s life.
