This account has been created because we know how many people love Jake and want to help.
I’m Mitch Gose. Jake Gose is my younger brother.
We all know that the very best way to help Jake's back and his future is to pray for him and for our family.
Main prayer requests:
~ safety and wisdom,
~ pain reduction in Jake (NO PAIN is the goal)
~ straightening of Jake’s spine. (through therapy, or miracles are ok too!)
Jake Gose is 17 years old, a junior in high school. If you know him, you know he sets out to do the hardest things, and then achieves them. He set his life goal to be a Navy SEAL.
When his scoliosis was first diagnosed, my parents were told we could “just watch it,” “there is no cure outside of surgery," and that there would be “no limitations” because of it. The doctors at that time also assured us that the daily pain Jake felt did not come from his scoliosis curves. The next several years were full of different stretches, Active Release Therapy, adjustments, and exercises to manage the pain.
Recently we discovered that all of the previous information was false. The military will not allow a curve of Jake’s extremity. That was devastating news.
Dad researched to see if there was ANY hope. We are so grateful that there IS a hope!
The Scoliosis Care Center in San Jose, California has NON-surgical treatment that may not be able to reduce the curvature all the way, but will likely be able to reduce it SOME, and (the best part) remove the daily pain! These doctors have discovered the root cause of many cases of scoliosis, and know how to treat it, reducing and removing the pain, as well as straightening out the spine.
This is a long journey of months and likely years of exercises, intense therapy, stretches, and other special devices. And we are going to go for it. Jake's future, Jake's dreams are worth it.
We know that God has him in His hands at all times, and that He will provide help when we need it. If you feel led to give, then please do, no matter how little. Every dollar counts. We do have health insurance, but this therapy is out of network, not covered.
Our campaign goal will pay for the trip expenses and therapy bills, along with braces the he will need. Mom broke it down below to help see why this is so costly. Thank you so much and God bless you.
~ Clinic Fees (Three week intensive treatment): $14,775
~ Custom Brace: $6,500
~ Custom Scoliosis Flexibility Chair $7,900
~ Other Custom 3D therapy devices: $1,350
~ Neurological Testing (to care for the nerves): $250-$3,000
~ Travel expenses and lodging: $1,200/week (3 weeks initial visit, then one week quarterly, every 3 months)
~ Future Weekly Clinic sessions: $3,900 (every three months until the doctors think they can't go further)
Mom and Jake leave May 1 to get this going (timing is important since Jake has very little growing space left (but he does have some time, so that’s more good news!) and the first payments for the various treatments will be due throughout that time.
Here are some pictures of Jake growing up, so you can enjoy seeing how he's always focused on serving our nation in the military, specifically wanting to become a SEAL. (And a picture of all of us with him to see his biggest fans.)
Thank you for your support and prayers.
