The Jake Dickson College Fund

Donation protected
Very sadly, Jake lost his mother, Jenna and his father, Greg within fourteen days of each other just before Thanksgiving 2014.  

At 10 years old, he has his life ahead of him and family to help guide him through life's challenges. Resources however, are quite limited as neither parent had life insurance to provide for Jake's care and college.  We all know that takes a village to raise and inspire a child to evolve into a loving, caring and responsible adult and are hoping to build a community that surrounds Jake with care and compassion.

Jake is already demonstrating an intense love and desire for building and engineering. We hope to motivate him to thrive in school and give him something to look forward to by helping to fund his college expenses.  

My niece, Jenna was Jake's mom. I was there the day he was born and saw the immense love she felt for him that day and every day after. We, as a family are devastated yet nothing can compare to the loss that Jake is feeling.  It will help him to know how many people care for him and I truly "Thank you" for becoming part of the village.
