    I am way behind as usual in teh OT but I want to say I'm sorry to all those who have had their trust breached recently. OT has proven themselves over and over again to be a community who gives to those who need it and I'm so sad to see that trust and togetherness abused. It's heartbreaking and I understand how many of you are probably very angry and hurt.

    That having been said:

    What you did for my family and Jacob is the most amazing thing and I want to make sure that everyone knows that even tho I'm not on here every day, OT is still like a second family to me and I 100% intend on following through with Jacob's Aces.

    We are at a standstill with founding our "own" charity right now but are exploring other options and for the time being I think the money will go into some sort of interest-bearing account so that it can continue to grow and down the road when it's large enough to fund a true 501 charity that will become a reality.

    Saw a lot of posts questioning trust around here and it made me want to remind everyone that you have done a Very Good Thing for a very sick little boy (who is, thank God, improving) and that Very Good Thing will help countless other kids in the future. While OT may tread more cautiously in the future, I want to thank everyone again from the bottom of my heart for having the love and generosity it took to donate so much and let you all know that if you ever want to know the "status" of the plan, you can PM me, skype/aim me (if I'm on, lol) or shoot me a FB message.

    It is not just Jacob's organization, it is very much yours and I want to make sure you feel you can always contact me about its progress.
