So Jacob applied for and just received his Social Security card in the mail and his birth certificate that his grandfather ordered with a little technological help from yours truly. With the birth certificate and Social Security in hand, Jacob opened his first checking and savings account yesterday. The grandfather had to sign because he is a minor, but Jacob handled everything else. He carried himself better than some adults I have seen and I am so proud of him. In the weeks to follow, I will show him how to set up a budget and billpay. He also applied for Social Security benefits so hopefully he starts receiving that money soon.
I want to thank everyone that contributed to the Go Fund Me drive. You have no idea how helpful that was. Your contribution helps pay for two months worth of rent and utilities. Matt's coworkers have went by their house twice to bring food and some cash as well. They are good to go for now.
They are overwhelmed by everyone's generosity and they asked me to express their gratitude and appreciation. So thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
