A Heartwarming Note

Today Jacob's Fund received a heartwarming note from Jacob P.'s mom. Here's what she said:

I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to Jacob’s Fund for awarding my son, Jacob, a hippotherapy scholarship. This generous support has eased a significant financial burden on our family and has allowed him to continue participating in a therapy that he truly loves and benefits from. Jacob has shown tremendous growth through the therapy, and it has greatly improved his balance, coordination, and overall strength. Beyond the physical benefits, it has also strengthened his confidence and deepened his love for animals. He looks forward to each session, and seeing his progress has been incredibly rewarding for our family. As a special needs family, we face many medical and therapeutic expenses. One of Jacob’s specialists does not accept insurance, making each visit a substantial out of pocket cost. In addition, Jacob underwent a stem cell treatment through Duke University, which was not covered by insurance and was required to be paid out of pocket as it was a clinical trial. While there are programs intended to support families like ours, the reality is that many necessary treatments and therapies still come with overwhelming financial challenges. Organizations like Jacob’s Fund are truly the heroes, stepping in to provide meaningful assistance and making a real difference in the lives of families every day. Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and commitment to helping children like Jacob continue to access the therapies they need to thrive. Your support means more than words can express.
