❤️ TODAY IS GABRIEL MICHAEL JACOBS DAY IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA! ❤️
Today, my heart is filled with gratitude.
Because of the vision and generosity of Dr. DrMildred Summerville, who brought her stage play Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child to Charlotte, we have been given an extraordinary opportunity to honor the life and legacy of my son, Gabriel Michael Jacobs.
Today, the City of Charlotte officially recognizes Gabriel Michael Jacobs Day, which makes my heart so incredibly glad FOREVER!
And I don’t want to simply celebrate Gabe today.
I want us to DO SOMETHING in his honor.
My son Gabriel’s life may have ended far too soon, but his legacy does not have to… it can live on forever!
❤️ TODAY, I AM ASKING YOU TO GIVE.
Gabe’s Heart Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to raising awareness about childhood heart conditions and helping place portable defibrillators (AEDs) in public spaces where children and families gather.
Because when a child’s heart stops, every second matters.
One of the ways we utilize the funds donated is by placing life-saving equipment where it may one day make the difference between life and death.
Barber-Scotia College athletic department Chris V. Rey was the recent recipient of one of our donated AED Defibrillators!
Every heartbeat counts. Every child deserves life.
