On April 1st 2024, our son, Jacob and 6 other humanitarian workers working for World Central Kitchen in Gaza were attacked and killed when their convoy was hit by an Israeli airstrike. Jacob had been volunteering in Gaza since early March helping distribute food to Palestinians. Before then, he dedicated his time to World Central Kitchen, also doing a mission in Mexico. He leaves behind his partner Sandy, his one year old baby boy, and his loving mother, Sylvia.

This GoFundMe in the US aims to raise money to help his family reestablish themselves after his tragic death. As the sole financial provider, Jacob’s family will use these funds to sustain themselves temporarily, setting up a trust for his baby boy, and supporting his mother. Please note there is a GoFundMe for Jacob and his family in Canada as well if you wish to contribute in Canadian dollars.
