Help Our Loved One Murrieta Resident - Tragic Swimming Accident -

military vet accident paralyzed induced coma needed medical support , family , friend , brother, swimming , murrieta valley high school,

Hello my name is Joshua, and I'm here to ask for help on behalf of my brother Jacob who on 07/14/17 in Big Sky Montana broke his neck while swimming.

He is currently in Bozeman Deaconess Hospital, ICU unit, without any feeling from the chest down and paralyzed without the ability to use his hands and legs. Jacob has a long road of recovery ahead of him. He is in need of funding for medical bills, and also rehabilitation that will provide him with the best expertise and tools necessary to make a full recovery.

My brother is a proud military vet who loves life, his family/ friends and is loved by all that know him. He has his whole life in front of him, and I hope that together we can ensure his new path in life is filled with the most success, love, and happiness possible!

Any donation will be so greatly appreciate. We know this is very upsetting for those who know Jacob, so we will keep updating on his progress.

Jacob we love you and promise to be the warriors you need to overcome any obstacles you may face!
