The Nuci Phillips Story
How the foundation began
The Nuci Phillips Foundation and Nuci's space were named in loving memory of Nuci Phillips. Nuci was 22 years old and a student at the University of Georgia-- he was both well-liked and respected for his music.After a five-year struggle with depression, he took his own life. His parents started the foundation in an effort to prevent similar tragedies and to help musicians overcome depression.
You can read more about Nuci's life, as written by his mother Linda, here on the foundation's website.
The Response
The Nuci Phillips Foundation and its headquarters, Nuci's Space, are all about caring for people facing the same problems Nuci did. Their mission is to prevent tragedy by offering support and creating a community targeted to musicians.
Through Nuci's Space, local musicians can find camaraderie, support, practice space, concerts, and volunteer opportunities to serve others like themselves.
The Foundation also works with those who can't afford medical treatment (both psychological and physical) and helps to pay their doctor's fees.
