<div><strong>Help My Son Jacob Recover After a Devastating Workplace Assault</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>On May 30, my son Jacob was working his shift at McDonald's, where he has been a loyal and dedicated employee for several years. What should have been a normal day at work turned into a nightmare when a coworker assaulted him by throwing hot oil on him.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Jacob suffered severe second-degree burns to his face, arm, and back. He was rushed for medical treatment and will be spending time in the hospital as doctors work to help him heal. He now faces a long and painful recovery process that will include ongoing medical care, treatments, and time away from work.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>At just 20 years old, Jacob has worked hard to build a future for himself. He is engaged to be married and has always been responsible, hardworking, and committed to those he loves. This unexpected tragedy has created a major setback at a time when he should be looking forward to building his life and planning his future.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>While Jacob focuses on healing, he will be unable to work and earn an income. The financial burden of lost wages, everyday living expenses, transportation, and recovery-related costs will continue to grow in the weeks and months ahead.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>As his mother, it broke my heart when he looked at me and said, "Why would he do this to me?" I want to help him not have to worry about day-to-day finances and how to make ends meet, but instead be able to focus on his recovery. <strong>Any donation, no matter the size, will help relieve some of the financial stress and allow Jacob to focus on what matters most right now: healing.</strong>


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Funds raised will help with:


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>• Rent and housing expenses


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>• Utilities and essential bills

</div>


<div>• Groceries and daily living costs


</div>

</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>• Lost income during recovery


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>• Medical and recovery-related expenses


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this fundraiser with others. Every share, prayer, and kind word means more than you know.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Jacob has a long road ahead, but he is strong, and we know that with the support of family, friends, and our community, he can get through this difficult chapter.


</div>


<div><br />


</div>


<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support, kindness, and prayers.
