Jacob should be finishing senior year, playing center back on his soccer team, planning a mission trip, and applying to physical-therapy programs. Instead, a hidden brain condition has stolen nine months of his life.

Chiari Malformation Type 1 squeezes part of Jacob’s brain into his spinal canal, triggering:

He’s attended only 5 days of classes this year and missed every ordinary moment seniors cherish. He lives to play soccer and is a beast on the field. Although he plays as a center back, his header goals on corner kicks are a must see!

U.S. doctors offered only high-risk, invasive surgery — not safe for Jacob.

Hope arrived from Barcelona. The Chiari Institute performs a less-invasive procedure that has restored normal lives worldwide for over 15-years.

✅ Jacob is already approved.

Time is running out. Without surgery soon, permanent nerve damage could rob him of the normalcy of studying, playing soccer, or serving others—forever.

We need to raise $35,000 to get Jacob to Spain and cover expenses insurance will not:

Surgery & hospital fees -- $23,00

Flights (Jacob + parents) -- $5,000

Lodging (2 weeks) -- $4,000

Medical follow-ups & meds -- $3,000

TOTAL: $35,000

Every $25 = 1 day closer to Jacob heading a ball again.

$100 = one night his mom can hold his hand in Barcelona.

Jacob is hardworking, kind, and determined to help others as a future physical therapist. Let’s give him the chance to live that calling.
