On the afternoon of December 8th 2019 Jake was in a horrific motorcycle accident while on his way home to take his daughters to see Santa at the fire station. He was taken by ambulance to SLU where he currently is with 4 fractured vertebraes in his neck and spine and a broken nose and septum. He will now have to undergo intensive physical therapy. There is no plan of the hospital releasing him anytime soon at this point. Jake is the sole provider for his fiancee and 2 daughters. With this accident there is no telling when and if he will be able to return to his job as a diesel mechanic. With his daughters birthday and Christmas just a couple weeks away, piling medical bills, house payment, and all other bills I'm asking all of our family and friends to join in and give this sweet family some help. Jake and Susan would give their shirts off of their backs to help any of their family and friends if they could. Let's rally around them and show then some love in their difficult times. Any amount helps. Thank you all!
