About this fundraiser

 

Hey! 🖐️ If you can, skip one coffee today to help a local business owner. Jacob from Gadgets & Goodies in Plover is facing surgery and needs our help to keep his shop going.

Even $5 helps so much! ❤️ 

UPDATE FROM JACOB:

Here is a quick update that I posted on Facebook. I feel like it needs to be said... please understand that I am not functioning normally nor have been for years. It has been a steady decline and at this point, I can only function 2 hours a day at most.

I just wanted to add... I didn't want to get this open, but I guess I do. I need you all to understand the severity of this situation.
This is 7 surgeries. The 7th surgery. In the same area. It has been extremely damaged already. This case will leave me needing TPN (IV nutrients daily) the rest of the years of my life. Daily. That is expensive. Even with Badgercare.

I am missing half my small intestine already, and will be missing more. This is a major issue as I cannot absorb food properly as it is now. So I am getting constant migraines, constant pain due to the damage in there, and constant exhaustion as I cannot absorb anything normally. I am not able to function normally. And when I tried to get a job recently, I was given a performance bonus in December, then 2 weeks later was in the hospital and got fired the week after I got out

The funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward covering his medical bills, paying rent, and ensuring that his children have enough to eat while he is unable to work. He has many appointments, tests, and procedures in Madison, which add to the financial burden. Your support will help relieve some of this stress and allow him to focus on healing and being there for his family.
