Jacob’s Sunrise: A fight for hope and healing

Your Help Needed Now

Jacob, just 17, a month after his birthday, faced a darkness no young person should ever know. He attempted to take his own life. The shock and grief are immeasurable, but now, his family's focus is on his recovery.

Jacob needs intensive, specialized care to heal from this trauma. He needs therapy, a safe environment, and the unwavering support to rebuild his life. But the financial burden is overwhelming.

The reality is stark: hospital bills are mounting, and crucial, long-term mental health treatment is only partially covered by insurance. This leaves a significant gap, threatening Jacob's ability to access the care he desperately needs.

This isn't just about Jacob. It's about a broken system that fails our teenagers. The mental health crisis among young people is real, and the barriers to accessing proper care are unacceptable. Insurance companies often prioritize physical health over mental well-being, leaving families to shoulder immense financial burdens during their most vulnerable times.

We are launching this urgent appeal to raise funds specifically for Jacob's hospital bills and his ongoing, specialized treatment. Every dollar donated will directly support his recovery journey.

Here's how your support will make a tangible difference:

* Covering Hospital Expenses: Reducing the immediate financial strain on Jacob's family.

* Funding Specialized Therapy: Providing access to trauma-informed therapy, crucial for his long-term healing.

* Enabling Access to Treatment Programs: Covering costs for programs designed to address his specific needs.

* Break the Stigma: Share Jacob's story to raise awareness and encourage open conversations about mental health.

* Offer Support: Reach out to any young person you know who might be struggling.
