Friends of Jake

01/03/2026

Today we were able to get a long awaited (a year and a half) vehicle for Jacob. This beats all the Uber rides needed for Drs appointments. Will be better and safer for Jacob, and easier for his mom Maya, to get around town and the state for all his appointments.
Best of luck to you both.
(Jacob was already in bed for delivery. And it was 18° out.)

A week ago, we had the pleasure of furnishing Josie and her parents with a check to mobility works to help purchase a van for for Josie. It wouldn't have been possible without all the help and support from all our supporters.
Best of luck with your new wheels Josie.
