A Nonprofit Founded in Loving Memory
The Brother Bird Foundation
In loving memory of two brothers, Nicholas Wells and Zak Nelson — both taken far too young.
The Brother Bird Foundation was founded by Heather Wells and Sophia Bolhuis. Through the darkness of profound loss, our families were carried by the kindness of community — and that grace is what we now work to pass on.
Our Mission
Carrying Families Through the Unimaginable

Direct Support
100% of donations go straight to families navigating loss and hardship — no overhead between giving and good.
Real Estate That Gives
A portion of every real estate sale with Heather is given back to the foundation's mission.
Community First
Born from the kindness our own families received, and built to pass that grace forward.
