Their story β€” in their own words

Our sweet Jake is only 3 years old, and his family is currently facing something no parent is ever prepared for. In a matter of days, their entire world changed after learning he is now battling childhood cancer, and now their focus is on getting through each moment, one step at a time.

Watching someone so little go through something so big is incredibly hard, but Jake has already shown just how strong and resilient he is. He is surrounded by so much love, and his family has not left his side through any of this.

As they navigate hospital stays, treatments, and the unknown ahead, we want to come together as family, friends, and a community to support them in any way we can. The emotional toll is already overwhelming β€” our hope is to help ease the financial burden that comes with everything they're facing, from medical expenses to time away from work and daily life.

If you're able to donate, share, or even just keep Jake and his family in your prayers, it truly means everything. No act of support is too small.

Jake's parents, Brian and Karina, are set up to receive the donations directly.

Thank you.
