Hi, my name is Jacob.

I never imagined I’d be in a place where I’d have to ask for help like this.

Right now, I’m being held in federal custody as I wait for trial, and every day is a challenge — mentally, emotionally, and financially. Anyone who truly knows me knows that I’ve always been someone who cares deeply about others. Over the years, I’ve helped countless people in my community — especially young women trying to afford college and build better futures. I’ve always believed in kindness, giving back, and doing right by others. That’s what makes this situation so heartbreaking. I’ve been labeled as something I’m not, and it hurts to see my name and character misunderstood. I’m not a danger to my community — I am part of it. I’ve spent my life trying to lift others up, and now I’m the one who needs a little lifting.

I’m raising funds to help with:

Legal fees and defense costs so I can have a fair chance to tell my story.

Communication and commissary costs so I can stay in touch with loved ones and maintain some stability during this time.

Support for my family while I’m unable to be there for them.

Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. Even sharing this campaign or sending a few words of encouragement helps keep my spirit strong. This isn’t just about money — it’s about hope, fairness, and holding on to the belief that good people still see the truth in others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing by me, believing in me, and helping me through this storm.

With love and gratitude,

Jacob
