On September 1, 2019, my son Jake Shuman, a SeaBee Veteran and small business owner passed away unexpectedly---leaving behind loving friends and family, as well as a legacy of empathy, generosity and humility. Jake Shuman’s larger than life personality, entrepreneurial spirit and aggressive work ethic imparted a sense of “you are important to me.” As someone always willing to share time, resources and opportunities; respect was at the very heart and essence of my son. While he is in a better place now, our nonprofit: Jake’s Journey Home is going to continue Jake Shuman’s legacy of doing what you can to help someone’s tomorrow be better than today. Connect with unhoused persons- veterans or community members through respect & coordination of services. Providing assistance for "wrap-around services" (including inpatient, day treatment, mental health, therapy, medical, job/vocational skills, higher education, basic needs ((food, DMV, SS, cards)) and peer support to create a change. These services allow us at the very least, to make sure that someone’s tomorrow is better than today.
