Jake Lipponer

Jake Lipponer was in a tragic car accident on Long Island on the morning of Father’s Day, June 19th, 2022.

After working multiple double shifts Jake was on his way to his favorite vacation spot, Cape Cod, for a week of relaxation when his car hit a pole, shattering his body.

Jake is on a very long and excruciating road to recovery. Now, a year later, after multiple surgeries, exhaustive physical therapy, and endless medical needs and challenges, he embarks on yet the next phase of his recovery.

In order to continue his recovery, Jake needs to purchase an approved wheelchair accessible mobility van that is outfitted for his safe transport. Owning such a van will allow Jake to participate in more intense and alternative therapy programs and allow him greater freedom and independence to live a more complete and productive life. The Lipponer family needs your help to purchase one. These vans are very expensive, but we are hoping with your help, it will not be out of reach.

Anyone who knows Jake knows what an amazing, determined and kind soul he is. He is fighting with every breath to get back on his feet and get his life back. This van will go a long way in helping him achieve that goal.

Simply put, it will allow Jake to look beyond the confines of his four walls and carve out a new path for himself.

Donations to Help Hope Live will help Jake move into this next phase of his recovery and life. Please give whatever you can. Any amount will make an enormous difference in this extraordinary young man’s life.
