Online donations are up (http://www.jakesfund.com/).  Please forward to as many people as possible.  Please help spread the word.

There isn’t a lot one can say to make sense of this situation.  Corporal Waggoner and his family need the help of you and all the others who have worn the uniform.  Jake returned from Iraq in March 2007 and soon became married.  Shortly after, his wife gave birth to healthy baby girl, Bella.  A couple months ago, the biopsy results for a tumor in his brain came back.  Jacob Waggoner was given six to twelve months to live.  At the same time Jake got the news, the father of a beautiful little girl found out he was to become a father again.

Anybody who has served with Jake knows he is a fighter.  Jake is taking steps to fight this tumor so that he can see his child born and spend as much quality time with his family as possible.  He is on a strict regimen of medications.  His seizures and migraine headaches are slowing down as he cleanses his body.  His diet of only organic foods has been helping his quality of life.

The reality however, is that Jake and his family needs our help.  The medications are expensive.  Organic food has more than doubled his grocery bill.  And, he is unable to work due to his medications and seizures.

Please help Jake and his family in their time of need.  You can read more about Jake on a website that was setup to aid in the fundraising: http://www.jakesfund.com/. Donations can also be made at any Bank of America.  Just reference the account “the Waggoner Trust Fund”.

We have also added a Facebook group and Twitter account to help spread the word:
