In April 2018, Nikki and Doug Mark's perfectly healthy 12-year-old son, Tommy, went to sleep
one night and never woke up. They're still not exactly sure why. Tommy loved soccer, and Nikki,
while devastated, was eventually able to overcome her grief to create a legacy for him. Her
dream was to turn a neglected LA park into a state-of-the-art sports field "to spread the joy
Tommy had in life and the passion he had for sports." Overcoming some local opposition, she,
her family, and neighbors banded together to raise over $1,000,000 for the project. While on
this journey, a remarkable string of incidents convinced Nikki that her recently departed son
was guiding her through the process.
