Jake was involved in a tragic hit-and-run accident after being struck by a vehicle while crossing the road as a pedestrian. He is currently in the ICU at UCLA Hospital, where he is receiving excellent care for a severe traumatic brain injury.

Jake is currently in a medically induced coma as his medical team works to stabilize his condition and support his recovery.

Funds raised will go directly toward helping Jake and his family with travel, medical and legal expenses, and the ongoing costs associated with his recovery (we do not have a specific target but aim to raise as much as possible to support Jake). Any support, whether through a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser, means so much to Jake and his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

The money will be handled by Jakes sister, Jessica VanBeukering.
