  Ms. VAN DUYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Nicole Maucere 
Jackson, founder of Fairy Godmothers. Her initiative is to provide 
widowed and single parents with presents during the holiday season.
  Nicole's movement is to make these parents feel loved, embraced, and 
seen during the holiday's by providing them with presents from the 
Fairy Godmothers. Christmas of 2020 was Nicole's first being a widow 
after her husband, Craig, suffered a tragic car accident in July 
leaving her alone with her 2 children. She quickly realized the 
hardships of being a widow during Christmas morning, so she started 
Fairy Godmothers to bridge this gap and show support for those parents. 
Fairy Godmothers have helped over 760 parents since Nicole initiated 
this movement.
  I commend Nicole, for going above and beyond for families in our 
community.
