Hi friends and family! Many of you know that I've been a "Big Brother" to Jacoby to over 5 years and have come to know him and his family as my own. He, his siblings, his dad, and his mom, Leslie, are all incredibly important to Grete and I. Due to the government shutdown, several assistance programs that Jacoby and his family rely on month to month are being paused or potentially ended. We're setting up a GoFundMe to help them stay afloat until these programs hopefully come back online. We would appreciate anything you can give to help the Mercado family from the bottom of our hearts.

From Leslie: "We thank anyone for any amount you can donate knowing that God will multiply it back. We really appreciate the help!"
