Yaakov Baruch is 22 years old.

He is fully alert, intelligent, and emotionally present.

But his body is extremely weak due to a severe muscle disease.

What gives Yaakov life is leaving his bed.

Going to yeshiva.

Learning Torah.

Being treated like every other young man his age.

Without an aide, that cannot happen.

And that means an entire day stuck in bed.

If you have ever cared for someone elderly,

you know how essential an aide is just to function and stay emotionally well.

Now imagine that same need in a 22 year old.

Because of his age, Yaakov receives no assistance.

No programs.

No coverage.

No support.

A private caregiver is the only option.

This is not about comfort.

It is about dignity.

It is about giving a young man a life outside his bed.

Your support doesn’t make Yaakov’s life easier.

It makes his life possible.
