On October 25th, 2025 our friend Jacob DeLeon was involved in fatal car crash caused by a drunk driver with 6 other people. It took the life of our amazing friend Anthony Pike and left others with severe injuries. Jacob was included in that and the toll of the accident has been immense, leaving him with severe injuries and a long, difficult road ahead.

Jacob sustained serious, life-altering injuries that require extensive medical care and rehabilitation. His injuries are complex, including a severe hip break and fracture, a broken pelvis, and multiple breaks and fractures to his right wrist, along with other significant bumps and bruises. He is currently undergoing intensive rehab and therapy to regain his strength and mobility. Our immediate and most critical goal is to get him strong enough to safely travel back home to Virginia Beach, where he can continue his long-term recovery supported by his family and community.

The financial burden resulting from this tragedy is overwhelming for Jacob and his family. We are kindly asking for any contribution you can make to help cover the essential costs of his recovery and transition home. Your donations will directly fund his specialized medical transportation to safely move him back to Virginia Beach, cover his existing and ongoing hospital bills, pay for his necessary continued physical therapy and rehabilitation, and purchase essential medical equipment like specialized mobility aids and bracing for his home recovery.

Jacob is an amazing person—he is hardworking, dedicated, and deeply loved by his friends and family. As an engineer, he pours his passion and skill into his job, and he is passionate about his many hobbies. We want to do everything we can to help him successfully navigate this recovery so he can eventually return to the career and life he loves. If you are unable to donate, please know that sharing this campaign on social media, via email, or with your community is a huge help and deeply appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion, prayers, and support during this incredibly tough time. We will keep you updated on Jacob's progress.
