Let's Help Jacob Survive His Terrifying Second Back Surgery

Jacob's Second Chance When Surviving Surgery Means Facing It Again

Jacob died on the operating table during his first back surgery. They brought him back, put two metal rods in his spine, and he fought his way through recovery. Now both rods have completely broken, and he has to go back into that same operating room. He'd be lying if he said he wasn't terrified.

When the interview crew found him, he was sitting in his car with a busted window and not enough gas to get anywhere. But honestly, the gas isn't what keeps him up at night it's knowing what's coming and facing it alone.

A full tank of gas brought him to tears that day. Not because of the fuel, but because someone saw him. That hug he gave wasn't just a thank you it was him holding on to proof that people still care.

He's not asking for much. Just enough to get through this surgery and the recovery without worrying about whether he can keep the lights on or eat while he heals. And if you can't give, just share this. Knowing people are in his corner means more than he can put into words.

Everybody needs a hug sometimes. Right now, this is his.
