Why do we need your help?

We held nothing back. We have mortgaged our home and laid it all on the line to be able to offer this to the community. We have taken an empty box and turned it into a fun experience for people of all ages and a place to share the love of God. We have special events featuring national and local artists, family movie nights, clean comedy and entertainment. We are also open daily with lots to do including pool tables, darts, ping pong, corn hole, gaming stations (switch, Xbox, ps5), vintage arcade games (pinball, ms pacman, racing, etc), valo jump video game trampoline system, and play area for littles. We have constructed, put in sprinkler and fire safety system, plumbing, electrical, bathrooms, stage and sound equipment, all the games/pool tables and furnishings. We've been paying lease and utilities while working on this massive project. We have completed enough to where we can open and begin hosting amazing shows and daily fun but we still have a lot more to do to complete this vision but we need help to accomplish this. We want to finish the coffee shop and offer food. We want to add more games and add onto the stage. We'd like tables for The Table side and improve that space to be used for parties etc until we have enough funding to complete The Table modern food court with 3 restaurants with open seating and play space.

Rockhouse 39 is located at 1377 Old Logan Rd Lancaster, OH 43130. We welcome you to join us and be a part of what we're doing here in Ohio.

Jacob and His wife Hailee have two children, Rilee 9, and Gabe 3. A loving young family who attend Life Giving Church in Westerville OH.

Their lives took a major turn earlier this year, when Jacob discovered a mass underneath his tongue. The beginning of June marked his first surgery to remove the tumor. The biopsy tested positive for cancer; Squamous cell Carcinoma. Additionally, it had already spread to his lymph nodes in his neck. At that point, the hospital who had done his first initial procedure (Ohio Health) did not feel comfortable doing the next steps that Jacob needed for his care. Jacob was sent to The James at OSU, where he really met the brutal truth of the severity of his condition. On July 21st Jacob had a bi lateral neck dissection performed where they removed 85 lymph nodes; 5 tested positive for cancer.

When Jacob had his initial Surgery to remove the mass under his tongue, parts of his tongue were removed. Muscle and a skin graft were taken from his forearm in order to reconstruct his tongue. Jacob spent 4 weeks in the hospital recovering after these procedures. Another procedure performed was a tracheotomy, recovery time was approximately 3 weeks. He is currently on extensive treatments of Chemo and Radiation. Jacob has been told it will be a minimum of 6 months before he is able to return to work, and his medical bills continue to rise. Jacob’s wife, Hailee, is currently working full time and attending school, but the weight of the situation is too much for them to bear alone.

Please consider joining us, by financially helping this family through this terrible situation. While we can not take away the physical pain and burden, we can help give this couple and their children as much financial security as possible while they fight together.
