Campaign Story
This site is being established in response to the good will and outpouring of love and well wishes for Jacob DeGregoris. Jake was traveling to Philmont (the Boy Scout High Adventure Camp) last week along with his fellow scouts. He sustained serious head injuries during a bicycling accident in Colorado on June 28, 2016. Though he is showing some signs of improvement and has considerable fight within him, the brain injuries he sustained are quite serious and will require an additional surgery and an extended period of rehabilitation.
Those who are close to Jacob know he is a strong, smart and energetic young man. He has a loving and supportive family. He has all the necessary characteristics for a strong recovery. However, his injuries are extensive, and recovery will take a long time. Beyond the emotional turmoil, the medical and non-medical related expenses are an added burden to the DeGregoris Family. The funds raised through this campaign are being accepted to lift some of the burden from the family while they remain in Colorado to support Jacob during his recovery.
Thank you for whatever help you can provide and for keeping Jacob and his family in your prayers during this difficult time. Your donation is sincerely appreciated. God Bless.
