PLEASE BRING JAKE HOME TO SPEND FINAL MOMENTS WITH HIS FAMILY

Granted by Heroes: Guest, Guest
My name is Bobbi and I am trying to help bring 8 yr old Jacob Grecco home to spend his final moments with his Dad and brothers. Jake was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer and has been fighting it for over a year now. When his health recently started to deteriorate his family made the choice to bring him to Germany for a last ditch effort to prolong his life. While there he underwent Hypothermia treatments to his brain and body. The procedure seemed to go well and then suddenly he took a turn for the worse. The doctors did not expect him to live thru this past Saturday night. But he is clinging on to life and his parents think he is waiting to say goodbye to his brothers who are in Phillipsburg, New Jersey. A medical flight home could cost over $50,000. We are trying to raise money as quickly as we can in order to bring Jake home where he needs to be.

Any & all help is greatly appreciated.

I hope you get your wish!

Have you looked into bringing Jacob's brothers to him? I am sure he would like to be home, but that way would save him the stress and discomfort of the medflight and still allow the brothers to be together. Some airlines may offer compassion discounts to help them as well.

Your family is in my prayers. I hope you get your wish granted. I agree with lilshae though- you should look into some foundations that might be able to help you reach your goal better! Good luck. God Bless.
