Original post from Jake’s Aunt:

Many of you may have already heard that my nephew was involved in a serious lawn mower accident on Sunday, June 29, 2025. He was life-flighted to Denver, where—thankfully—surgeons were able to reattach his foot. The doctors are hopeful for a full recovery, but the next 48 hours are critical.

Wyatt and Kellie are by his side, doing everything they can to support him. As they face the challenges of travel, hotel stays, and daily expenses, we’d love to ease a bit of that burden so they can focus on Jake’s healing.

If you’re able, please consider making a donation to help with their immediate needs. If giving financially isn’t possible right now, your prayers and positive thoughts for Jake, his family, and the medical team are deeply appreciated.
