Niko has no legs but daily goes out of his skateboard to sing rock in the streets of downtown Monterrey, but because he suffers from diabetes requires insulin.
Monterrey.- Cheerful and positive, Nicolás Meléndez, aka "Niko" is recharged in a bank to make magic with his hands while talking and laughs with pedestrians.
"Niko" has no legs as a result of the bifida spine with which he was born, but neither the diabetes suffering from his 40 years to get ahead.
A few seconds, the chords of some rock song are mixed between the crowd and a passion begins that has become its source of work on Morelos street in the center of Monterrey.
On board his skateboard every day he leaves his house to go to work, do the super or meet his friends.
And although the money he receives for singing in the streets is of great help, he has not always been able to cover his expenses and especially his medications that have a cost of 600 to 800 pesos biweekly.
To help Nicolás buy the special diet and insulin that requires for their diabetes, you can communicate to 818 462 49 49 and 811 730 17 57 with Manuel Balderas, a friend of yesteryear.
Their charisma and sense of humor have created ties with people who share the taste for music and it is they who on December 20 at the Morrison bar in downtown Monterrey will give a concert to support it.
Regardless of its disability and with rock as a stamp, Nicolás is committed to winning the thousand battles that may arise.
