Growing up in St. Louis Nelly saw a lot of things that could be better in his community. Now that he “made it” he’s excited to be in a position where he can go back and help make some of those changes.
Nelly’s sister Jackie lost her battle with Leukemia a couple years back, but before she passed they teamed up to create the Jes Us 4 Jackie project that seeks bone marrow donors. Even though Jackie didn’t make it the project has successfully matched up more than eight people with successful donors, two of which were kids from the St. Louis area.
Nelly’s 4 Sho 4 Kids non-profit also allows him to do a lot for the community. The organization specializes in education, health programs, and fundraisers to benefit children with developmental diseases and born with drug addiction. Its all about reaching out to help our kids, families, and the St. Louis community.
