seated in his new Big Red camping chair, just outside of
his new camper.

Happy
Trails, Jacob!
“Thank you!” young Jacob shouted to all who could
hear!
Jacob
loves his family and camping, so when questioned what his wish
might be, this nine-year-old’s response was quick and precise:
“A pop-up camper” would be just the thing.
Jacob was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2002, and is
very close to his parents and younger brother, Colton.
His wish-granting volunteers went to work to find the
perfect camper, and found it in South Sioux City, near his home
town of Allen.
The wheels were soon set in motion, so to speak, and a
surprise party for Jacob was
held at the Fremont RV Center in South Sioux City on a beautiful
Saturday morning. Jacob was presented the keys to his new
Rockwood pop-up camper at a party, which included cake for all
in addition to gifts for Jacob to make his wish complete:
a Nebraska Parks Permit, portable TV/DVD (a must for
camping!), and of course, camping gear.
Jacob and his family were overwhelmed, and excited to
take Jacob’s camper out to enjoy family time and create great
memories. Many
thanks to the Fremont RV Center and everyone else who
contributed to Jacob’s wish to make it an incredibly special
day and memory for Jacob and his family.
