Jacob Holbrook

Hi Everyone,

On Sunday evening, Jacob was involved in an accident while riding an electrical scooter in Downtown Boise. He hit a curb and landed in a way that fractured his jaw in numerous places. 

Jacob was required to take a life flight to Salt Lake City in order to receive the facial reconstructive surgery needed. The surgery is thought to have been successful, placing many screws and plates into his jaw. Following this surgery, another surgery could potentially need to be performed. We won’t know too much regarding the results until the swelling goes down. Currently, Jacob is in the ICU with breathing and feeding tubes. We anticipate him being him being in the care of University of Utah Hospital for days to come. 

Unfortunately during the time of the accident, Jacob hadn’t had the opportunity to start his new health insurance plan after a recent job change. Therefore, the purpose of this fundraiser is to help with the medical costs. Your donations will help pay medical bills, transportation, lodging costs, and other potential treatment needed during his long road to recovery. We are looking into getting as much medical financial assistance ourselves, but we know a lot of it is going to come out of pocket. ANY donation is welcome and please know no matter how much you are able to help with, it will be going directly to medical bills and medical equipment required to help him get back to full strength. 

For those of you that know Jacob, he is incredibly kind and loving. He has kept his sense of optimism throughout this journey thus far; and we hope that he will continue to keep his positive spirit throughout this journey. Thank you all for your generosity and kind words. We wish Jacob the best on his road to recovery.
