It’s the 10th of the month, Jake’s day! Usually we post something about Jake today to make you smile. But, today was a little different. Ya see, it was Jake’s sister Megan’s birthday a couple days ago so we went out tonight to celebrate. Yes, we had good food and some good drinks. Went to a neat little “hidden gem” of a bar. But, while we were out, the conversation turned to Jakob. We talked about things he’d done. Comments he’d made. The way he acted. And you know what we did? We smiled. We laughed. We enjoyed our time together and one of the reasons was because we talked about someone we loved. Yes, Jake is gone and most will never understand how much we miss him. But, because of Jake, we smiled. So, although we celebrated Megan’s birthday, we continued to .

You don’t know their battles. 6 years ago today, Jake left us. No signs, no warnings. His friends said he was in a “really good mood”. At 9:55 at night on March 10, 2020, he was gone. You don’t know their battles. But what you can know is “it’s OK not to be OK”.

Merry Christmas! Thanks to all of you, we were able to make wishes come true for 17 children off of the Salvation Army's Angel Tree. We even had two children that asked for pillows, warm blankets and beds! It's so sad that children have to ask Santa for things that many of us take for granted. We made sure that they had the bedding and called the Salvation Army about the beds. They had some donated and were going to make sure those kids got beds!
Thank you for all of your support this year! We appreciate you helping us do something like this in Jake's memory.
Hug your loved ones tight, check on your friends and continue to help us !

Some of you may have noticed that we haven't posted a Wish List or posted anything about doing a Holiday Drive. We know it has been a rough year for many people and we decided to use SJS funds to just do some things locally. Today we were able to grant some wishes on an Angel Tree. We had a blast picking out clothes and toys for the kids! Hopefully we will be able to grant a few more wishes and spread some more smiles!
We cannot express enough gratitude to all of you for your support in helping us do things like this and spread Jake's Smiles and his story!

It’s the 10th of the month, Jakes Day. Have you let someone know tomorrow needs them? Made someone smile today? Have you hugged and Ewok? Jake did and this makes us smile! Let someone know they are loved. Let someone know they are needed. Let someone know it’s ok not be ok. And always, .
