Story
Jacob was a very loved and well known autistic boy who would have done anything for anyone. He touched so many hearts in his short 17 years. Chesterfield born and breed. He had suffered from mental illness for so many years and his family, mainly is Mum never gave up strength and hope. She fort so hard on such a long and painful journey.
In such sadness hope was taken way as in a horrific and heartbreaking way Jacob passed away this weekend at Walton Dam. Leaving the most loving and caring family totally broken.
This fund raising page has been set up to help raise funds for his funeral, to ease the pain to a family whom have already suffered so much and as a community we want to take away some of their worry.
Please if you could spare a small amount for this familiy and to help make sure this beautiful boy both inside and out gets the send off he deserves and the family get to say goodbye without worry.
