NUTLEY, NJ - The Sebek Tenors are scheduled to headline "A Night of Music" for Nutley High School honor student Nelson Matos.
Nelson, an honor student at Nutley High School, is a kind, quiet and gentle soul who loves to cook, play video games and spend time with his family and friends. Shortly after his 17th birthday in January 2022, he was admitted to hospital after not feeling well.
Doctors discovered an undiagnosed heart condition. After the procedure to address that situation, Nelson suffered a stroke and entered a coma. He's since awakened, but is now dealing with other issues. The financial burden the family is facing is unimaginable.
Nutley being Nutley, the community stepped up to help. His classmates, the township at large, and the local business community, including Kurly Kurtosh, Jernick's Specialties, and Mamma Vittoria have raised funds to help Nelson and his family.
The 'Night of Music' will take place on Saturday, April 6 at 7 p.m. in the Nutley High School Auditorium.
Tickets are on sale now, $35 for premium seats, $25 for reserved seats. The online ticket link also allows for donations to support the family.
