Don’t forget for a moment that I am telling this story the way it was told to me by Nicole herself. She never explained how she started her late night business except to say that she had to make a lot of money quickly or lose the home she grew up in.  I thought it best not to press her for more details because I saw that it was difficult for her to talk about. What she did explain to me is that her mother literally lived in limbo for close to a year. She had taken care of her mother while awaiting the birth of her son, knowing that the small savings her dad had left was quickly diminishing.  That could not have been easy!
